Ripon Choral Society is one of Yorkshire’s finest Choral Societies. We are a thriving, mixed choir that performs usually four concerts per year in the glorious surroundings of Ripon Cathedral.
The choir is on its summer break. Rehearsals restart on September 9th at 7.30pm at St John’s Church, Sharow. Please arrive in good time to collect your score. New members are very welcome indeed – see the information here.
Meanwhile, there is an exciting chance for anyone to ‘Come and Sing’ with us for a day. We will rehearse and then perform John’s Rutter’s much loved Requiem – all at Holy Trinity Church, Ripon on October 3rd 2026. For details and information about how to buy tickets, click here.
Join Ripon Choral Society for an inspiring day of music-making as we explore and perform John Rutter’s Requiem.
Combining the traditional Latin Requiem text with English psalms and prayers, the Requiem offers music of great beauty, comfort and emotional depth. From the soaring melodies of Pie Jesu to the radiant optimism of The Lord is My Shepherd, it is a rewarding and enjoyable work for singers of all abilities.
The day will culminate in an informal performance, giving participants the chance to share the music they have prepared with family, friends and fellow music lovers. We are always looking for new singers, so this is your chance to meet us in an informal setting.
