BBC Symphony Chorus (amateur chorus associated with the BBC Symphony Orchestra)

~ Choir

Annotation

Be careful to disambiguate from the BBC Singers, both have used the name BBC Chorus at different periods of their histories.

The BBC Choral Society was renamed BBC Symphony Chorus in 1977 with its first appearance under that name in the Sea Symphony by Ralph Vaughan Williams on 12 October 1977.
