Welcome to Wimborne Choral Society’s website. We hope you love beautiful choral music as much as we do.
We are a friendly, mixed voice choir, with approximately 60 members. New singers are always welcome - no auditions required. We sing many of the major classic works as well as music by contemporary composers. We perform three concerts a year in Wimborne Minster, often accompanied by Wimborne Chamber Orchestra, with professional or semi-professional soloists.

In January 2025 we welcomed our new Musical Director Colin Davey to lead us forward to the next exciting phase of our musical journey. Our first concert together was Brahm's Requiem on Saturday 29th March.

Wimborne Choral Society (WCS) is Wimborne's longest established choir, approaching its 48th year. It was founded in 1978, and led until December 2024 by Christopher Dowie (Organist and Master of the Choristers at the Minster Church in Wimborne), with the founding object "to promote ... public education in and appreciation of ... music in all its aspects by the presentation of public concerts and recitals ...". Chris continued at the helm for 47 years, leading his last concert with us on 30th November 2024. This was a wonderful celebration and a fitting tribute to his 47 years as our Musical Director.
