Lincoln Choral Society

Lincoln Choral Society We are a 100 strong mixed choir: We have been combining friendship, pleasure and musical excellence since 1896.

Lincoln Choral Society is a mixed choir of 90 plus members. Most of our concerts are given in the magnificent setting of Lincoln Cathedral. We present two major concerts a year, usually in March/April and in November, and smaller ones at Christmas and in the summer. The Society, formed in 1896, aims to be a happy Choral Society, where friendship and a mutual love of choral music binds us together

into a successful organisation where musical excellence is the ultimate goal. We aim to give our audience high quality and enjoyable choral music which extends their repertoire and ours, offering diversity of experience to choir and audience and enriching the cultural life of the community.

We’re back home from Neustadt and reflecting on what a magical final day we had there yesterday 🇩🇪

We spent the day exploring local history at Villa Ludwigshöhe, riding the chair lift up to Rietburg Castle, and enjoying some traditional local food there.

And our trip couldn’t have ended in a lovelier way, with a cellar tour and wine tasting at Weingut Peter Stolleis, where we were treated to a beautiful evening in the gardens overlooking the vineyard.

Alongside several delicious wines, we enjoyed quiche and Rote Zora for dessert, before ending the evening in the best way we know how: by singing songs together from around the world 🌍🎶

A wonderful final day to round off a truly special trip, full of music, friendship and memories we’ll treasure for a long time.

A huge thank you to our friends in Neustadt for making our trip so special❤️

And just like that, we’re on our way home. 🇩🇪❤️🇬🇧

After a wonderful few days in Neustadt, we want to say the biggest thank you to everyone who made this trip so special.

To our friends in the Liedertafel Choir, thank you for welcoming us so warmly, singing with us so beautifully, and sharing such a memorable concert with us.

To our hosts, thank you for opening your homes to us and looking after us with such incredible kindness and generosity. We really couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome. You have treated us so wonderfully throughout our stay, and we are so grateful for everything you have done.

Thank you to everyone who organised, planned, cooked, hosted, guided, poured wine, shared stories, sang with us, laughed with us and made the whole visit run so smoothly.

The friendship between our choirs is something very special, and this trip has been a wonderful reminder of just how much joy, generosity and shared history it holds.

We leave Neustadt with full hearts, happy memories, and a great deal of gratitude.

Until we meet again…in October! 🥳

Last night’s concert in Neustadt was such a special one for us. 🎶🇩🇪

Singing Mozart’s Requiem and Spatzenmesse with the Liedertafel Choir felt like a beautiful expression of the friendship between our two choirs, and of the many visits, concerts and shared memories that have been part of that friendship over the years.

Over the last few days, we’ve been so warmly welcomed by our hosts, and it’s been wonderful to spend time together both in and out of rehearsal.

Mother Nature also treated us to a crack of thunder just before the Requiem began, adding a little extra drama to the evening…

We still have one more precious day here with our hosts in Neustadt before we head home tomorrow, and we’re looking forward to making the most of it. ❤️

Concert warm-up is underway at St Pius, Neustadt… 🎶🇩🇪

The church is VERY warm, so our voices are warming up nicely, and we’re getting ready to perform Mozart’s Requiem and Spatzenmesse with our friends from the Liedertafel Choir in just a couple of hours.

Not long to go now!

What a special evening we had last night. ❤️🇩🇪

Our friends in the Liedertafel Choir hosted a beautiful dinner for us in their wonderful choir hall, where we enjoyed a delicious three-course meal and such a warm welcome.

It was a real pleasure to hear from Frank Sobirey, Chairman of the Liedertafel Choir, who shared the story and history of the friendship between our two choirs.

The walls of the hall were full of posters and photographs from concerts here in Germany, as well as memories from past visits and exchanges. Among them, we spotted two very familiar sights from home: Lincoln Cathedral and the Stonebow!

Seeing those pieces of Lincoln here in Neustadt was a lovely reminder of the connection between our choirs, and of the friendships that have grown through music over the years. 🎶

Bring on tonight’s concert! 🥳

A little glimpse of this afternoon’s rehearsal at St Pius Kirche, Neustadt… 🎶🇩🇪

It was fantastic to spend the afternoon rehearsing with our friends from the Liedertafel Choir in the very church where tomorrow’s concert will take place.

We can’t wait to perform Mozart’s Requiem and Spatzenmesse there tomorrow!

Greetings from Neustadt! 🇩🇪🎶

It’s our first full day here, and what a lovely start it’s been.

This morning, we were treated to a sightseeing tour of Neustadt, followed by wine and bread in the Town Hall, where we also had the pleasure of singing two songs with our friends from the Liedertafel Choir. It was a really special way to begin our visit and to spend time together ahead of tomorrow’s concert.

This afternoon, it’s back to business as we rehearse for tomorrow’s performance of Mozart’s Requiem and Spatzenmesse.

We’re having a wonderful time so far and are very much looking forward to sharing the concert with our hosts tomorrow! ❤️🎶

Our summer break has officially begun…though not for all of us! 🎶

This week’s rehearsal marked the end of another wonderful season with Lincoln Choral Society. But while many of our members are now enjoying a well-earned summer break, a good number of us have swapped the rehearsal room for a coach and are currently on our way to Neustadt, Lincoln’s twin town in Germany. 🇬🇧🤝🇩🇪

Over the coming days, we’ll be joining our friends in the Liedertafel Choir to perform Mozart’s Requiem and Spatzenmesse together, continuing a friendship between our choirs that spans many years.

We’re looking forward to sharing music, making memories, and representing Lincoln Choral Society abroad.

Neustadt, here we come! 🎶🥳

The highlight of tonight’s rehearsal may be one of the most unusual raffle prizes we’ve seen: a hi-vis jacket! 🦺✨

It was won by none other than our Musical Director, Mark, who proceeded to wear it for the rest of the rehearsal in the hope that it would, and we quote, “help us all to actually watch him.” 😅

We’re pleased to report that the jacket was highly visible. Whether we were any better at watching Mark is another matter entirely…

With just one rehearsal remaining before the summer break, it was another enjoyable evening of music, laughter and the occasional unusual raffle prize. 🎶
