To develop and celebrate singing in Bedford by the creation of a high quality youth choir and bi-annual festival of choirs.

‘Singing in a choir is the most life affirming thing’

Sir Elton John

The benefits of singing are well known: we have been doing it for millennia and it is estimated that currently 2.8 million people are in a choir in the UK.

From plainsong, to Gareth Malone, from madrigals to Rock Choir and from Brahms to Barbershop, so many of us know the joy it can bring. Why not join a choir?

Bedford Sings has two main activities in 2026:

• the creation of a youth choir drawn from the 6 Bedford schools

• .a festival of singing in choirs (Oct 14-18 2026).
