Bath Bach Choir is a spirited group of 90 musicians renowned for bringing joy, passion and precision to everything we perform. We embrace a broad and exciting repertoire from the great sacred works of Bach and other choral masters to the cool secular motets of contemporary composers. The choir gave its first performance in 1947, and in 2022 we celebrated our 75th anniversary year as a thriving, friendly and vibrant society. In January 2023 we welcomed Benedict Collins Rice as our new Musical Director.
