Founded in 1956, Aberdeen Bach Choir is a friendly, non-auditioning choir bringing together singers from across the city to share in the joy of great choral music. We perform sacred works by Bach and composers from the Baroque period to the present day, rehearsing on Tuesday evenings in Mannofield Church.

Paul Tierney, Musical Director

In 2026 we celebrate our 70th anniversary with two special concerts at St Machar's Cathedral: on 25 April, joined by distinguished organist Joseph Beech for a programme of well-loved favourites, and on 5 December, a landmark performance of Bach's Christmas Oratorio, returning to the very venue where we first sang it in December 1956 accompanied by Aberdeen Sinfonietta and outstanding soloists.

Whether you would like to experience inspiring live music in a magnificent setting or join us as a singer (we welcome new members each January and August), we invite you to be part of this special anniversary year and help us fill the cathedral with music and celebration.

If you are interested in joining us for our next concert in April 2026, have a look at our Concert Schedule and How to Join pages, and if you have any other questions, contact us at .
