Botley Choral Society was formed in
1923 to serve the wishes of the residents of Botley and Curdridge in
Hampshire, England. It currently comprises approximately 80 members who
practice on a Wednesday evening at All Saints Church, Botley.
From its beginning the Society took
part in the Winchester Music Festival, which was an important social
occasion and which included until the early eighties a competition with
other choirs.
In recent years the Society has grown from strength to strength, and under
its conductor David Burgess performs at least two concerts a year to the
highest possible standard. Either a St. Cecilia concert is given in late
November or a Carol concert in December. An Easter concert is also held
annually. Performances are held in Botley and other local venues. The
society also joins other choirs to participate in the Winchester and County
Music Festival each May, either in Romsey Abbey or Winchester Cathedral.
The Society is a member of the
National Federation of Music Societies. |
