Ramsbottom Choral Society & Orchestra

The Society has around 100 members (65 choir and 35 orchestra) and prides itself on producing a high standard of music. Members are drawn from a wide range of walks for life and this adds to the Society’s friendly atmosphere.

Whilst most members are either singers or musicians, the Society does have some non-performing members, who provide invaluable support in the smooth running of the society.

More background information is shown on the About Our society page.

The Society holds a number of concerts each year: these include the very popular Christmas Concert, together with spring and autumn concerts. Additionally, we often have a summer concert and attend other concerts from time to time.

Rehearsals are weekly, with breaks in the summer and at Christmas/New Year.

Rehearsals start at 7.30 prompt and end at 9.30. As making music is thirsty work, there is a brief refreshment break at around 8.30.

The Choir rehearses on Fridays at St Andrew’s Church, Ramsbottom and the Orchestra on Thursdays at Greenmount Old School Rooms.

The society also has an extensive library of both choral music and orchestral parts available for hire, including original arrangements of many carols and Christmas music. Please contact the society through the Contact Us link, for further details.

Annual subscriptions - £5.00.

There is a weekly attendance charge for performing members of £2.50 (£1.50 if unwaged), which is payable even if you are unable to attend.

The Society is a Registered Charity and so Gift Aid terms apply re Income Tax in appropriate circumstances.
