Welcome to Wimborne Choral Society’s website. We hope you love beautiful choral music as much as we do.

Wimborne Choral Society (WCS) is Wimborne's longest established choir, now in its 47th year. It was founded in 1978, and led until December 2024 by Christopher Dowie (then 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 ...". 

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. 

We are looking forward to continuing our musical journey with our new Musical Director, Colin Davey, from January 2025.
