Founded in 1876, York Musical Society is the city's longest-established choral society. For over 150 years we have brought together performers and audiences to share some of the greatest works in the choral repertoire, from well-loved classics to rarely performed gems that deserve a wider hearing.

We perform three or four concerts a year, often in the magnificent surroundings of York Minster. Our programmes are shaped by a love of choral music in all its variety and have featured works ranging from Handel's Messiah to Elgar, Bach and Brahms.
