About Us
Minehead and District Choral Society was founded in 1931.
We currently have around 60 members and enjoy rehearsing and performing a wide range of music, led by our Musical Director, Marcus Capel.
We are regularly joined by professional soloists and orchestras.
We rehearse at the Church of St Michael the Archangel, Alcombe, on Tuesday evenings from 7.00 - 9.00pm during the weeks before a concert, normally this is from early September to late November and early January to mid March. The map below shows where to find us.
The membership fee in September 2023 is £ 75 which covers the autumn and spring rehearsals and concerts. The membership fee is needed to fund [amongst other things] the hire of rehearsal rooms and concert venues and the hire of music, and to subsidise the booking of an orchestra and soloists, which cannot be normally financed from concert receipts.
A half year membership fee is available at £40.
For further information, please contact the Secretary via the Contact Us form.
