Harpenden Choral Society has an established reputation for high quality performances with professional soloists and orchestras. We give four concerts a year including a carol concert and hold an open workshop or ‘Come and Sing’ event once a year. Most of our concerts are in the Harpenden area.  Since our formation in 1975 the choir has grown from strength to strength and our repertoire now includes most of the major choral works as well as some lesser-known works and contemporary pieces.  


The programme for our 50th Anniversary Concert has been suggested by members of the choir members and features favourite works including:

Allegri: Miserere               

Parry: I Was Glad                                                

Rachmaninov: Bogoritsye Dyevo
