Newcastle Choral Society

Newcastle Choral Society is into its seventeenth year with Musical Director Mark Anyan who continues to bring new musical strands to the choir in his association with young singers.

The choir has about 60 singers and aims to produce choral concerts of a high standard, in a wide range of styles, at venues in and around Newcastle.

Since its formation in 1954, the choir has performed modern works by Rutter, Carter, Ramirez,  Campling, Chilcott, Jenkins (including local premieres of 'The Armed Man A Mass for Peace', 'Stabat Mater' and 'The Peacemakers'), and a number of compositions by former Musical Director Len Young including, Seafarers, Blackfriars, Earthsong and Requiem.

In 2005 and 2007 we performed in Hall One at Sage Gateshead and in 2014 in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the choir, we returned  for a performance of Karl Jenkins: The Armed Man. Sage again in 2018 in collaboration with Cleveland Philharmonic Choir and in 2022 withe the esteemed Hertfordshire Chorus
