Reddish Choral
Society were formed in 1973 by Roger Paine, Organist of St. Elisabeth’s, as
the ‘United Choirs of Reddish’, for a one-off performance of Handel’s
Messiah. The choir continued beyond this concert, and was re-named Reddish
Choral Society. It now numbers about forty adults who perform three concerts
a year, as well as joining with the Church choir for special events. Recent
performances have included Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary, the Faure Requiem,
and Stainer’s Crucifixion, for which they joined with other singers from the
Reddish area. The Choral Society rehearse on Wednesday evening between 7:30
and 9:30 (with a tea break!) and is directed by Philip Waddington. Further
