Pershore Town Choir

Pershore Town Choir invites you to "Spring into Song" at St Peter's Church, Bengeworth on Friday 19th April at 7.30pm.

A joyous blend of new and familiar music for Springtime. Tickets £10 available from The Almonry or on the door.

On 24th June, the choir sang their second gig, since returning to rehearsals after Covid, at Church Lench Church, one of three churches celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee through the Lenches Flower Festival.

Our choir is all about camaraderie, singing for pleasure and having fun. You can see from the photos, we did just that!

On 26th March, Pershore Town Choir sang for Ukraine in Chapman Court, Pershore. We’re very happy to report that following the event a donation of over £500 was sent to the DEC.

The Choir

Pershore Town Choir are a mixed voice choir of approximately 50 singers based in Pershore, Worcestershire with members drawn largely from the town and surrounding areas. The choir, formed in 2007 by the current Musical Director, David Barclay, has more than doubled in number over the past decade and under David’s skilful leadership, is developing a wide-ranging repertoire.

Musical Director

David Barclay was born in Nottingham in 1971 and sang as a Treble in the Parish Church Choir. He went on to study at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London, under the Scottish Tenor William McAlpine. David’s first appointment was in Liverpool as a Lay Clerk at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King where he began teaching singing at St Edward’s College.

We are now recruiting. No auditions and you don't need to read music. Our aim is to have fun singing and at the same time contribute to the music and cultural life of Pershore.
