The Blenheim Choral Society was formed in 1962 and is the longest-established choir in Blenheim. For some years we performed under the name 'Marlborough Singers', but in 2020 we became just Blenheim Choral.
Our choir has a mixture of ages and abilities, but we all have one thing in common: we love to sing. We meet once a week, for two hour

Our choir has a mixture of ages and abilities, but we all have one thing in common: we love to sing. We meet once a week, for two hours, rehearsing for two or three shows a year, which we perform for family, friends and the Marlborough community. On occasions we also join in concerts with the Marlborough District Brass Band and/or the Marlborough Civic Orchestra.
We always welcome new members! No auditions are necessary.

We are very fortunate to have New Zealand baritone, Robert Tucker as our musical director. Robert studied at the University of Otago, before moving to Perth, Australia, where he was an Emerging Performer at the Australian Opera Studio. After living and working in the UK for five years he returned to New Zealand where he performs regularly

We aim to present two concerts a year. The mid-year concert is a more formal work that is performed in Marlborough's ASB Theatre and is usually a more important, classical work with professional soloists. Our end of year performance is a collection of works that we have worked on throughout the year and usually has some Christmas songs

However, as our repertoire expands, so do our ambitions, and we will be bringing a new range of performances to our loyal local audience – and beyond.
