Birkenhead Choral Society

Birkenhead Choral Society seeks to be a friendly choir, offering a high standard of music for our own and our audience's enjoyment. We normally perform four concerts each year and involve local school children in our carol concert. Every few years we join up with Formby Choral Society and with boys from Merchant Taylor's School to sing a major choral work at the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool.
