the bar choral society
London
Founded in 2014, The Bar Choral Society is a non-audition choir based in Temple
with singers drawn from across the legal system. In addition to judges,
barristers and pupils, members include solicitors, trainees, students, those who
work in Chambers, the Inns, and their families. The Society is honoured that the
distinguished and much performed choral composer John Rutter CBE is our
President. The choir gives approximately two concerts per year with professional
soloists and orchestras – performing everything from Gabrieli to Gershwin, Byrd
to Bernstein. We also branch out of Temple from time to time: we recently
performed a joint concert with The Parliament Choir at St. John’s, Smith Square
to mark Vaughan-Williams’ 150th anniversary. Led by our Music Director, Greg
Morris, our friendly Monday evening rehearsals take place in Temple Church from
6.15 p.m. to 7.45 p.m. The choir’s activities are supported through member
subscriptions. These are presently set at £180 for silks and senior lawyers, £90
per year for junior barristers/lawyers and non-lawyers and no charge for
pupils/trainees/students. This inco
