The Choir
Doncaster Choral Society was formed in 1888 under its earlier name of Doncaster Musical Society. We have over 100 years of tradition in excellent and engaging choral performance, drawing our members from across Doncaster and beyond.
We are proud to have around 55-60 active choir members and to perform with leading soloists and musicians from across the region. We were delighted to be able to appoint Matt Beckingham in 2023 as our new Musical Director.
Our next concert in 2024-25 season is on Saturday 17 May 2025, performing the Duke Ellington Sacred Concert. We have returned this season to performing in the former Priory Place Methodist Church in central Doncaster.
Our full 2024-25 season under the theme of 'Afresh' started with Jonathan Dove's The Passing of the Year in November and the Messiah in December, and continued with Verdi's Requiem in March. We complete our season with the Duke Ellington Sacred Concert in May.
In December, our members also usually sing carols at a church service and at the Woolmarket, Doncaster.
We rehearse in Cantley, with Matt and the choir being ably supported by our regular accompanist Simon Corner.
