Bulmer Choir began in 2008 when a group of singers in Bulmer decided to get together to make music. Over the years the choir has flourished and grown under successive Musical Directors, and we now have around 30 singers who come from villages and towns across Ryedale. But true to our roots we still meet to rehearse in Bulmer Village Hall.
Our present Musical Director is Sue Reuter, who is ably assisted by our Accompanist, Renate Sangwine.
We enjoy singing an extensive range of music, both classical and modern, from Bach to the Beatles, Handel to Rodgers and Hammerstein and everything in between. We usually put on two concerts a year, with occasional additional appearances at special events and weddings. For the last couple of years we’ve been invited to sing in Castle Howard Chapel in the run up to Christmas.
Rehearsals are held every Wednesday evening from 7.30pm to 9.30pm with a break halfway through for tea or coffee. Practices continue throughout the year, usually with short breaks in January and summer.
Members pay £30 per term which covers the cost of hiring the hall, music, flowers and ties, and refreshments.
New members always welcome
Bulmer Choir has a reputation for being friendly & welcoming and we are always on the lookout for new members. So, if you have a good singing voice, enjoy learning different styles of music, and can ideally follow a music score, though not necessarily read music, why not give us a try?
We don’t hold auditions and you’ll never be made to sing by yourself (unless you’d like to!). You can see if you’d like to join us by coming along to a rehearsal at 7.30pm on any Wednesday evening in Bulmer Village Hall.
