Last Saturday (Bistro -style concert, 20th February 2016) was a thoroughly enjoyable evening for BCS audience and singers alike. Well known music and popular songs from the shows were sung with vigour and enthusiasm led by Stephen Hope, the choir’s exacting musical director. It was very well received by the audience as was the buffet meal of wondrous proportions that followed, prepared and served by choir members. A raffle was held which added to the delights of the evening. For a first attempt at such an event the comments were so positive and encouraging that it is highly likely another similar event would be welcomed and well supported.

About BCS
Basildon Choral Society is an amateur choir with a repertoire that ranges widely from motets, masses and challenging modern choral works to spirituals, jazz numbers and arrangements of songs from favourite musicals. We have four seasonal concerts and give a variety of additional performances throughout the year at the request of churches, charities and private organisations - either with the full ensemble or the BCS Small Choir.
Our membership is widely varied in age and background.
We're an adventurous bunch and have taken concerts to Basildon's twin towns in France (Meaux) and Germany (Heiligenhaus), as well as to Barcelona, Bruges, Erlangen, Florence, Gossweinstein, Krakow, Lille, Ostend, Rome and Venice.
We also enjoy good food and have the occasional social dinner and barbecue!
Tickets for all concerts can be purchased in advance from Pam Shankland on 01268 450421 or on the door on the night.
