Midlands Hospitals Choir
The Midlands Hospitals’ Choir is a large, mixed voice choir based in Birmingham, in the heart of the UK. Formed in 1981 in memory of Sir Malcolm Sargent and the charity set up in his name, the choir originally drew its members from local hospitals. We still have a large contingent from the medical and associated professions but nowadays the choir is open to anyone with a passion for singing (no auditions required!) and a desire to help us fund-raise for charitable causes.
Our Concerts
SPRING CONCERT 21st March 2026
We enjoyed a varied programme, covering many genres, which the choir is become very skilled at doing! Jazz and showtunes dominated the choir songs. We were additionally entertained by Philip Quirk on Organ, Jordan Jennings and Tom Syder singing their hearts out, and Martin Leeson taking Caccini’s Ave Maria to new heights on the tenor saxophone.
Saving the best until last, the choir finished with the exuberant ‘Dubula’, demonstrating what great ‘movers’ they are. We await calls from ‘Strictly’…..
Once again we supported the charity Music Therapy Works; Sandra, one of the trustees, spoke about the wonderful work the charity does.
As always there was tea, coffee and delicious cakes after the performance with much talk and laughter
19th April 2026
We are excited to have been invited to sing with the European Doctors Orchestra on April 19th at Birmingham Town Hall.
We will be singing Handel’s Zadok the Priest, and the magnificent Elgar’s ‘Music Makers’ with Phoenix Singers and the Worcester Festival Choral Society.
This promises to be a spectacular occasion.
