Dorking Choral Society is a non-audition amateur choir of around 90 voices. The choir sings to a high standard under the direction of a professional Musical Director, Greg Batsleer. His overriding aim is to concentrate on the sound which the choir makes; sounds amazing!
There are usually three concerts every year in addition to activities as a Member Choir of the Leith Hill Musical Festival. The repertoire is highly varied, ranging from 16th century to contemporary music.
DCS has a long association with the Leith Hill Musical Festival (LHMF) which was founded in Dorking by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
DCS is dedicated to the promotion of Choral Singing within the Dorking area. Choir members elect a committee which is responsible for the management of the Choir. The committee appoints the Musical Director and Accompanist. DCS is a Registered Charity.
Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings (7.40pm for 7.45pm prompt) throughout the year excepting July and August.
DCS is a friendly choir and potential new members will always find a warm welcome! Click on the Join page to find out more.
