Welcome to SCS!
We are a Solihull choir drawing our singing members from the West Midlands, South Birmingham, Worcestershire, Warwickshire and further afield. We would love you to join us as a singer, audience member or supporter.
The high level of performance that we achieve in our concerts means that many of our audience rarely miss a concert. We employ both established, and up-and-coming talent as soloists, where we need them, along with excellent instrumentalists, often performing with an orchestra. We love choral music and want to share it with you. Why not join us at our next concert and see for yourself?
We are a friendly and welcoming group of keen musicians. Because of this many of our members have been with us for many years. Some of us are very experienced and some are much newer to singing. Many choir members use supporting materials alongside musical scores to help them to achieve the highest standard that they can. As a result we can put on four concerts a year to a high standard. We love to support our less experienced members to grow in confidence and skill and share in our great sense of musical achievement. Our repertoire ranges from the great works of Monteverdi, Bach and Handel through the C20th masters Bernstein, Britten and Finzi and on into C21st including works we have commissioned ourselves.
If you are considering singing with us, then come along to a rehearsal to see if you like what we do.
About the choir
Solihull Choral Society was formed in 1994 and today numbers around 60 singers under our Musical Director, Oliver Walker. Our concerts – usually at Solihull School Chapel – range across the great choral repertoire, from Handel, Haydn and Mozart to Duruflé and Vaughan Williams, often with the Sinfonia of Birmingham. Browse our past concerts.
We rehearse on Wednesday evenings, 7.30–9.30pm, at the David Turnbull Music School, Solihull School, Warwick Road, Solihull B91 3DJ, from September to June. Our Young Singers Bursary supports young people who commit to the choir. Find out about joining.

This choir gives me exactly what I was looking for as a singer: variety, challenge and a shared sense of musical purpose and pride.
