We usually perform in three concerts each year. Most of our concerts are held in Bishops Cleeve but we have also performed in other venues, including overseas.  Overseas tours have taken the choir to Hungary, Tuscany and th Salzburg area of Austria.

Cleeve Chorale seeks an experienced accompanist for September 2019.  


Cleeve Chorale is a sociable and welcoming, non-auditioned choral society based in Bishop’s Cleeve, north of Cheltenham.  Its membership (currently 55 singers) perform 3 major concerts each year alongside a programme of workshops and smaller events.  Most concerts take place in St Michael’s Church in the village, and the choir has strong links with local primary schools, with whom it collaborates for Christmas and summer events.  Rehearsals take place on Tuesday evenings at Bishop’s Cleeve Primary Academy.
