Founded in 1974, Eye Bach Choir is based in the beautiful historic town of Eye, Suffolk. The choir’s Musical Director and Conductor is Benedict Collins Rice who took over in January 2025 and quickly won over the hearts and minds of enthusiastic choir members with, not least, his excellent teaching and leadership skills. Benedict has a relaxed, unassuming authority which commands the respect of members and audience alike.

Although the choir of course honours J.S.Bach in its title, its repertoire covers the breath from sixteenth century to works by contemporary living composers.

Eye Bach Choir is often accompanied in concert by some of the finest soloists and musicians the uk has to offer and is honoured to be in the position of being able to attract such calibre of talent to Suffolk. Visit OUR TEAM to discover more about who we work with.

The Choir is always open to new members. Rehearsals take place weekly at Eye Town Hall over three terms a year with a summer break. 

In September 2025 there are three Open Rehearsals scheduled for those interested in getting a taste of what it’s like to be a member.

The sessions are drop-in so no booking is necessary but please do get in touch if you would like to find out more.
