Founded in 1876, The Bach Choir is recognised as one of the world’s leading choruses, building upon a tradition that combines musical excellence with creativity and innovation. From the first performance in Britain of Bach’s Mass in B minor more than 140 years ago to the soundtrack for Ridley Scott’s epic film Prometheus, the choir’s musical heritage is as rich as it is diverse.
Directed by David Hill, the choir regularly performs and records across London and the UK in prestigious venues, from the Royal Albert Hall to Abbey Road Studios. To date The Bach Choir has sung over 400 works in more than 120 venues, and has an active international touring schedule. Composers who have written works for the choir include Sir James MacMillan, Will Todd, Sir John Tavener, Bob Chilcott, Jonathan Dove and Carl Rütti. The choir comprises over 250 talented singers from all walks of life and has a very successful outreach programme.
