Dartford Choral Society is a group of about 30 amateur singers based in Dartford, Kent, England. We have the full range of soprano, alto, tenor and bass voices and perform various choral works in about four concerts each year, most of which are performed in local churches and chapels, or at the Mick Jagger Centre where our rehearsals take place. One concert each season is a Civic concert.
Many of our soloists are professional singers but we also aim to encourage young emerging singers by offering opportunities for them to sing at selected concerts.
Dartford Choral Society is affiliated to Making Music (The National Federation of Music Societies) and is a registered charity (number 1042096).
Following the retirement of Michael Bell in November 2024 we
are delighed that our Music Director is Richard Decker.
We hope that when you have browsed through these pages, you will be able to join our Choir, or support us by attending our concerts or becoming a Patron.
