Skipton Choral Society is a mixed choir of around 70 singers and is open to anyone who enjoys singing. We cover a wide range of types of music, mainly traditional but also some more innovative pieces, and our members vary in musical skills. A basic ability to read music is all that’s needed. The choir has been running since 2013 and whilst it is based in Skipton, membership comes from many of the surrounding towns and villages. We are a friendly group of singers and welcome new members. We meet on Monday evenings in Christ Church, Skipton and start at 7.15pm and finish at 9.15pm. Our year runs from September to July and we perform three major concerts each year as well as occasional public engagements such as Carolling.

Our Next Concert:
Skipton Choral Society presents
Passion Music – Voices and Jazz
Saturday 14th March 7.30pm
£15 | Under 18s Free
Skipton Choral Society is joined by a live jazz band for an evocative spring concert of powerful choral music infused with the energy and colour of jazz.
Will Todd’s Passion Music forms the centrepiece of the programme, a compelling and deeply expressive work that blends classical choral writing with gospel influence and jazz-inspired rhythm to tell the Passion story in a vivid and contemporary way. The concert also includes Todd’s Three Jazz Hymns, vibrant reworkings of well-loved hymn texts, full of warmth, swing and rich harmony. Robert Webb has Skipton Choral Society in fine voice following a strong season of performances, and the collaboration with an accomplished jazz band brings a fresh, uplifting sound to the spring repertoire. If choral music with a modern edge and the excitement of live jazz is what you’re looking for, be sure to book early for what promises to be a memorable evening.
