Our ‘Carols and Christmas Music for Choir and Audience’ is a delightful concert of seasonal music, ranging from traditional well-known carols (with the audience invited to join in), through more recent arrangements and less familiar carols, to seasonal favourites such as ‘Winter Wonderland’, arranged by our conductor Kenneth Roberts (you can find our 2019 recording of this on YouTube!). As always the choir will be accompanied by the Cinque Ports Brass and Nigel Howard on piano/keyboard, and this year will be joined by well-known local tenor soloist Gary Marriott. Come and join us for a wonderful evening!

This exciting concert, sadly postponed from October 2023 because of illness, presents the world premiere of a new oratorio-style piece Iseult, composed by Bexhill Choral Society’s Director of Music, well-known local musician and composer Kenneth Roberts. The piece explores the story of Tristan and Isolde (Iseult) but returns to the Celtic roots of the story and tells it from Iseult’s point of view. It is full of great tunes and drama, and definitely not to be missed! Arthur Sullivan’s music for King Arthur continues the Celtic and Arthurian theme, while Holst’s moving and poignantly beautiful setting of Psalm 86 and two movements from Roberts’ Flute Concerto round out an evening of rare and lovely music.
