Welcome to St Edmundsbury Male Voice Choir

Founded in 1988 by four teachers, the St Edmundsbury Male Voice Choir now comprises around 60 members. Its singers are drawn from Bury St Edmunds, nearby villages, and more distant areas including Ipswich, Norfolk, and Cambridgeshire.

The choir performs an extensive and varied repertoire, including 1940s swing, classical and traditional compositions, spirituals, folk music, selections from musical theatre, and popular chart-topping songs. In addition to performing locally in Suffolk, we have toured extensively across the UK and Europe, supporting a wide range of charitable organisations in their fundraising efforts. We also enjoy collaborating with other choirs, musical groups, bands, orchestras, and solo artists.

Join the Choir – No Auditions, Just Music and Friendship!

To maximize their value she kindly requests that the stamps are trimmed from the envelope with a 1cm border around them. Stamps can be passed onto Sylvia via any member of the Choir.
