Information - Come, join the Ipswich Choral Society
The Ipswich Choral Society is a friendly choir of around 100 members. It is the second oldest Choral Society in England, having been formed in 1824. The Society has attracted a membership with a wide range of musical experiences and entertains the public with performances across a varied musical repertoire at venues around Ipswich and further afield. We have also performed abroad in France, Belgium, Austria, Turkiye and Italy.
ICS rehearse on Tuesday nights at Northgate Arts Centre and usually present three main concerts each year, performing in local churches, Ipswich Corn Exchange, Ipswich School and, occasionally, Snape Maltings. We regularly take part in community events, such as Ipswich Music Day and Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph in Christchurch Park and accept invitations for additional concerts in aid of local charities. Rehearsals are usually followed by a visit to The Woolpack pub in Ipswich to encourage the active social scene of the choir!
Ipswich Choral Society is a member of Ipswich Arts Association and Making Music, the national federation of music societies.
