About the Ellesmere Port Music Society

The Society has been promoting classical music in Ellesmere Port since April 1950. The choir was formed in 1953, and choral music has been our main activity since 1970. The society is run by a committee of thirteen members, who are elected at the AGM in September each year.

There are three concerts each year, in November, December and April. Our carol concert is in aid of local charities. In our main concerts we have performed works by a wide variety of composers, including Monteverdi, Bach, Walton and Tippett, to name but a few. Concerts are held in Ellesmere Port Civic Hall, where we are joined by the Wirral Philharmonic Orchestra, which is a full-size professional orchestra, and professional soloists.

Forty of our members also provide a visiting choir for services at Liverpool Anglican Cathedral on one Sunday each year. There are occasional opportunities to take part in other musical events.
