Welcome
Solihull Choral is the premier choir in Solihull drawing its singers from Birmingham and Warwickshire as well as Solihull. The 50 strong choir aims to make music of the highest standard employing the best professional soloists and orchestras. Our repertoire extends from the great works of Monteverdi, Bach and Handel to the C20th masters of Bernstein, Britten and Finzi.
...they [SCS] now have a precision and clarity which is rare in such a society and a joy to hear...
We aim to promote concerts to the high standards achieved by the best choirs in Birmingham. The cost of professional orchestras and soloists and our relatively small venues means that only around 50% of concert expenditure is covered by ticket sales. The balance is funded by members' subscriptions, fundraising events and by the generosity of our Patrons.
From a lay person's view, this was a very good concert indeed. Choir and soloists provided a well rehearsed and well blended
experience for an enthusiastic audience. The young soloists, both vocal and instrumental, excelled in every way; giving the listener a thrilling experience.
Vocal fireworks and instrumental expertise, combined to make this a memorable evening. Andrew Fletcher and Solihull Choral Society are to be congratulated.
