Cheltenham Operatic and Dramatic Society

Cheltenham Community Choir

Having started in 2014, the choir has gone from strength to strength.

We have many regular members who enjoy meeting weekly to sing a wide range of material, accompanied by a rehearsal pianist and conducted by our wonderful choir master, Beverley.

It's a great way to meet a wonderful group of people, who share a passion for choral singing. It also offers you the chance to perform at some of Cheltenham's amazing concert venues.

The choir performs two main concerts per year, one in the summer, and then a winter performance in the run-up to Christmas. The choir also often takes up opportunities to perform at other engagements throughout the year, including the Winchcombe Festival of Music and Arts. The choir has even recently had the honour of being asked to record with BBC Radio Gloucestershire as part of their BBC Music Day.

We are so lucky to have so many wonderful members in our choir but for now, we have reached capacity for sopranos, mezzos and altos and so unfortunately we cannot accept any more for the spring/summer 2026 term.

We are always on the lookout for male voices though - particularly tenor but also baritone and bass voices, so please get in touch at choir@codsonline.co.uk if you’re interested - all you need is an interest in singing, no musical knowledge required! We look forward to meeting new people with this voice range.
