Introduction & History                                       

The choir was formed in 1937 and was known as the Chesterfield Mixed Voice Choir for many years.  It has a long-serving and loyal membership, and over the years has performed many concerts both large and small.  They perform 6 or 7 times a year throughout Chesterfield and beyond, and their bi-annual Autumn concert with orchestra has become a major event in the musical calendar of the area. 

The choir's primary aim is to foster a love of, and an interest in, choral music for both its members and the public at large.  The choir has recently benefited from sponsorship by the Midlands Co-operative Society.  They have given two notable performances of the complete 'Messiah' in 2006 and 2009 and have twice performed at Chatsworth House.
