THE Bournemouth Symphony Chorus will be in concert at Milton Abbey on Saturday (7) from 7pm.
The choir was founded as the Bournemouth Municipal Choir in 1911 by Sir Dan Godfrey to sing with his Bournemouth Municipal Orchestra which he had started in 1893.
For many years, the choir sang almost exclusively in Bournemouth, but in 1979, it became the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus, working under the aegis of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
The chorus has a membership of around 150 singers, and gives the majority of its concerts with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. However, it has also performed regularly with other orchestras, and gives regular concerts independently, either a capella, with organ or small ensembles
Tickets in the nave cost £16 for adults and £11 for under 18s. Aisle tickets cost £12 for adults and £7 for under 18s.
