Huddersfield Choral Society is the North of England’s leading independent choir. Founded in 1836, HCS has developed an international reputation as one of the UK's leading choral societies. HCS’ busy schedule is centred on its own subscription concert season in Huddersfield Town Hall, including its annual performances of Messiah. The choir also performs in other major concert venues in the UK and abroad, it regularly broadcasts for BBC radio and television, and has a long history of pioneering recordings. The Huddersfield Choral brings an unrivalled wealth of world class orchestras, conductors and soloists to perform in the heart of West Yorkshire. Constantly evolving to embrace new work alongside the great classics, our passion is to share exceptional choral music with our audiences across the North of England and further afield. Our commitment to vocal excellence guarantees that the HCS sound in live performance is an experience not to be missed. One voice. Since 1836.
