Fakenham Choral Society is firmly established as one of Norfolk's foremost choirs. We welcome anyone over the age of 16 who loves to sing. Our aim is to bring the pleasure of live, large-scale choral music-making to a wide public. And, of course, to have a wonderful time.

​

We draw our members from Fakenham itself and from surrounding villages and we meet to rehearse every Tuesday evening, from September to June, at the Salvation Army Hall, Oak Street, Fakenham, from 7.30pm to 9.00pm.*

​

We usually perform a minimum of three concerts a year, usually at Fakenham Parish Church, but we have also sung at churches in Blakeney, Cley, Wells-next-the-Sea and King's Lynn. Our repertoire embraces both sacred and secular music, and we have performed with a succession of distinguished soloists and orchestras.

​

FCS - as most of us call it - is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary season. In this it is led with great enthusiasm, expertise and flair by musical director Mark Jones.

​

Recent concert highlights have included Britten's Saint Nicolas, Mendelssohn's Elijah, Dvorak's Mass in D, McDowall's Christus Natus Est, Verdi's Requiem and Elgar's The Music Makers. 

​

We have successfully attracted funding from the National Lottery, from our own active association of Friends and from a network of corporate sponsors pleased to be associated with a successful local enterprise.

​

The Tuesday evening rehearsals are challenging, invigorating, informative and, most of all, great fun. Mark is brilliantly assisted by the choir's accompanist Matthew Preston.
