Oldham Choral Society, with more than 80 members, is one of the leading amateur choirs in North West England. Our Musical Director is David Cane and our regular piano accompanist is Duncan Robertson. The repertoire includes most of the major choral works by Bach, Elgar, Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Rossini and many others. The society organises about 4 concerts a year, often with orchestra and soloists. The concerts are performed in Oldham, elsewhere in Manchester and further afield.

About This Site

A primary purpose of this site is to encourage people to come and sing with us and to attend our concerts.  Overview information about our next concert is on this page (see above) with a link to a more detailed page given when further information becomes available. The menu item below the banner provides information about Future Concerts.

The site also provides an archive of what we have done in the past.  You can see reports of most of the concerts we have done over the past ten years or so under “Past Concerts”.  Under “Programmes” you can see almost all our programmes from the last century and more – a fascinating glimpse into the history of Oldham.

There is also an account of the Society’s history and a repertoire list.
