Mixed voice choir of around 50 members based in Biggleswade. Rehearsals Tuesday evenings, 8pm at Trinity Methodist Church. What we do

We love singing.

In particular we aim to encourage the enjoyment of a wide range of choral singing for our members and our audiences in and around Biggleswade. We currently have about 70 members. We perform at least 3 concerts a year at various venues in the area including regular events at St Andrew’s Church in Biggleswade and Langford Village Hall. We often combine with other adult and junior choirs, soloists and instrumentalists both amateur and professional. We are a friendly and active society and organise fund raising and varied social events for the enjoyment of members and guests. Community events include singing at Biggleswade’s Christmas Lights Switch-On and carol singing at local venues. Our sort of music

Very varied. We sing classical and modern music, often religious works but with at least one concert a year of ‘lighter’ music. Membership

New members are always welcome. You need to be 16 years or older to join. No audition is required. Full membership costs £80 per year, payable in two stages of £40 each in September and January. Membership is FREE to students in full-time education. We rehearse on Tuesday evenings during school terms from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at Trinity Methodist Church, Shortmead St, Biggleswade. If you are interested in joining come along to a rehearsal or send an email to [email protected] with the words BDCS Membership in the subject line and we’ll get in touch.

Wonderful concert last night at St Andrew's Church. It was really great to be joined by so many excellent singers for a really big choir and we were all delighted with the results!! However, life moves on and we are already preparing for our Christmas Concert, details below. You can prepare by putting this date in your diary! Please note, we are experimenting by performing the concert at 4.30pm in the afternoon. We hope this will suit people at the busy Christmas time. We hope to see you there!!

We are holding a Coffee Morning on Saturday 10th October 9:00 to 12:00 in the Footprints Room at the rear of Trinity Methodist Church in Shortmead Street in Biggleswade. Danger - there may be some impromptu sing-a-longs. Despite this, you are invited. Also, don't forget............

1st October today - just 23 days till the concert! Remember, you can come and watch or join in the singing. Either way, it is going to be a memorable experience! Please note a small change from the last poster - we are starting a little later - a 1.30pm registration for a 2pm rehearsal start. There will be tea and coffee at a break in the rehearsal and you will have plenty of time between rehearsal and concert to get home, have tea and change into your singing togs! See you there!!

Rehearsals start on Tuesday! 7.30 pm at Trinity Methodist Church in Shortmead Street in Biggleswade. We are going to be using the hall behind the church for the first time for better lighting, acoustics, etc so don't be put off if the church seems empty when you arrive! Just walk through to the back. Two great old favourites and something new. Lots of fun. See you there!

Next concert! Two familiar and great pieces and one you will not have heard before. It is a "Come and Sing!" event - that is, you have the choice of either joining the rehearsals on the day and singing in the evening or watch and listen to the evening's performance. This will be special! Details below.

We had great fun at the concert on Saturday! Here are our soloist Alison Brown who played the violin with great accomplishment in Whitacre's Five Hebrew Love Songs and Barber's Adagio for Strings and our great accompanist, Anne Wright. Now, what is the next concert and when is that taking place?

17/07/2026

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow......

04/07/2026

Two weeks today!! Buy those tickets. I have already revealed that the President of the USA cannot make this celebration of the 250th anniversary but I have to tell you today that none of the living former Presidents can be there either. Five* of them - you'd have thought that one could have made the time. Do they have a Whatsapp group, do you think, for events like this - 'I can't make it, can one of you?' - for funerals of former important people, ceremonies, etc? Anyway, YOU will be there so its going to be alright.

* In case you are wondering about the number, Donald Trump also counts as a former President.

21/06/2026

4 weeks to go! Sadly, the American President will not be able to attend this 250th anniversary concert - he wanted to come but there were security issues. However, if YOU come along, that will make up for it. Tickets are on sale and cost considerably less than world cup tickets - really, just a bargain!!!
