ABOUT US
Eye Bach Choir was founded in 1974 and is one of East Anglia’s foremost choral societies. From the spring term of 2025 the choir enters a new era by welcoming Benedict Collins Rice as its new Musical Director and Conductor. It bids a fond farewell to Leslie Olive who stood in both roles since 2007.
The choir celebrated its 50th anniversary season during 2023-24 with a special programme of concerts inspired by its early years performing in Eye, Suffolk.
At 42 Church Street, Eye, the home of our founders Ann and Merlin Channon, there is a notice that reads “It was in this music room that the Eye Bach Choir first met on 2nd of January 1974.” Eye Bach Choir started its fiftieth season with a concert at Eye Parish Church on Nov 11th that included a performance of the work rehearsed at that first meeting – Jesu Priceless Treasure by J S Bach.
