2008 a Year of Change for Beccles Choral Society

Sadly we must announce the departure of Vetta Wise, our very successful director of music. Vetta will be very much missed. She has developed the choir both in repertory and in technique. We wish her well and are sure we will keep in contact with her.

Because of this we are changing our published programme. We were to have performed Handel’s Messiah at Christmas. This is being brought forward to be our summer concert. More details of our concerts are below.

In September we welcome Philip Simms as guest conductor and director for our Christmas concert.

The choir is advertising at the moment for a permanent replacement Musical Director and if anyone is interested they should contact the secretary.
