and the Wirral Symphony Orchestra.

hoylakechamberCSlogoWe share many members with Hoylake Chamber Music Society.





Note learning aides for the music we sing can often be found at sites such as Cyberbass or CVI choral Midi (This site is run by a French Choir). An extensive collection of rehearsal aids is also maintained by John Hooper. These provide midi versions of much choral music that can be played by computer as a guide to various parts.
Mozart software logoAlternative choral practice files are available for some of the works sung by HCS in a form that displays the music in normal notation while playing it back. The progress through the score is indicated during playback by a moving line. This form of aid makes use of music notation software, rather like a "word processor" for music, called Mozart.
A great number of choral scores are freely available on the internet from sites such as
Choral Public Domain Library.
N.B. we include these links in the hope they might be found useful. We have not made any careful evaluation of them and their inclusion is in no way a formal endorcement by the society.


It is our practice to take a collection at each of our concerts. Over the years these have allowed us to make sustantial contributions to local charities including Hoylake Cottage Hospital and
Wirral Heart Beat. Our current charity is Crossroads Care.

Jon Tarrant logo Most of our publicity material and concert programmes are designed and printed by Jon Tarrant.






Most of our concerts and rehearsals make use of the Hoylake Chapel and hall.
