Welcome to Birmingham Festival Choral Society

We are a friendly choir, the longest established chorus in Birmingham, but perhaps one of the youngest in outlook - in our ongoing programming of the work of the Masters we also include on a regular basis new works by living composers some of which we have commissioned ourselves.

We also continue to raise funds for local charities.

We meet on Wednesday evenings from 7.15 to 9.30pm during term time at The Octagon, Edgbaston High School for Girls , Westbourne Rd, B15 3TS. Click here for map
