The Bury Bach Choir was founded in 1932, initially to perform the great works ofJ S Bach. Over the years the choir has developed into a highly-respected choral society that performs most of the main works of the choral repertoire, up to and including contemporary compositions. The choir has a singing membership of approximately 100 drawn from Bury St Edmunds and its surroundings, and presents three major concerts plus a Christmas concert annually in venues such as St Edmundsbury Cathedral, St Mary’s Parish Church, the Apex and, at Christmas, the beautiful churches of Lavenham and Long Melford. The choir uses professional soloists and orchestral musicians and so is able to bring to its concerts very high musical standards. The choir was described by the East Anglian Daily Times as “a treasure for the town” and is proud of its achievements over the last 82 years.

The choir is generously supported by a range of corporate and private Friends, Benefactors and Patrons, and is especially fortunate to have as its major sponsor the leading music publisher, the Music Sales
