Description
Todmorden Choral Society sprang from the old Todmorden Musical Society which disbanded in 1914 at the beginning of the First World War. After the War, the two sections of the Society (instrumental and vocal) decided to go their own ways and Todmorden Orchestra and Todmorden Choral Society came into being. The two organisations are still separate but cooperate with each other on frequent occasions and are both still flourishing.
Jack Bednall was Todmorden Choral Society’s Conductor/Musical Director for 28 years prior to his death in March 2000 and Mrs Jennifer Mitchell was Accompanist for much of the same period. Since then we have been fortunate in securing the services of Antony Brannick and Daniel Bath who take turns and share the positions of Conductor /Accompanist.
Handel’s “Messiah” continues to be a popular annual event. In recent years we have performed works as varied as Mendelssohn’s “Elijah”, concert version of “Trial by Jury”, “Acis and Galatea ” by Handel; Hiawatha’s “Wedding Feast”, Brahms’ “Requiem” and more recently Mendelssohn's "St Paul" & Handel's Judas Maccabaeus.
