Ramsbottom Choral Society & Orchestra

Ramsbottom Choral Society and Orchestra are located in the Bury and Bolton area just north of Manchester.

It is a mixed choir, with singers of all ages who perform a wide range of classical and light music, including religious oratorios and also secular works.

The society is a member of The National Association of Choirs and is unique in the North West by having their own Chamber Orchestra of instrumental players of Strings (violin, viola, cello and double bass), Woodwind (Flute, Oboe, Clarinet and Bassoon), Brass (French Horn, Trumpet and Trombone) and the four part SATB choir (Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass).

The orchestra meet on Thursday and the choir on Friday nights every week in the concert season.

I was delighted to be become Chairman of the Society in 2006. The Choir and Orchestra provide a range of music from major choral works through to lighter items at our summer concerts, as well as seasonal music at Christmas. Additionally, we have a smaller specialist choir "Andantino", featuring in many of our concerts.I do hope you find this website useful and I look forward to meeting with you.........Diana Ashworth
