PARAGON SINGERS 50th ANNIVERSARY

In 2026 we celebrate 50 years of singing, friendship and creativity in Bath and beyond. Whether you’ve been following us for years or are just hearing about us, we’d love you to share this special season with us.

Save the dates below and come and make new musical memories with us. Full details coming soon and tickets will be available here and via Bath Box Office.

Paragon 50 Anniversary Concert

Saturday 21st March 2026, Bath Abbey
Join us in one of Bath’s most inspiring spaces for a promenade concert that surrounds you with sound. Enjoy music we love, from 400-year-old favourites to a brand-new commission, as we welcome back alumni and celebrate 50 years of making music together.

To honour the contribution of much-missed Paragon tenor James Henderson, we will dedicate a new choral work composed by Sarah Dacey to his memory, to be premiered at this anniversary concert in Bath Abbey next March. 

We’re grateful to the Hinrichsen Foundation and the Vaughan Williams Foundation for their generous support of this new commission and anniversary concert.

Purcell’s Lament

Saturday 11th July 2026, 7:30pm, St Swithin’s Church, Walcot Street, Bath

Words and music combine in this immersive staged concert exploring Henry Purcell’s life. A new script by Stewart Harcourt weaves together Purcell’s most moving songs and choral works in a portrait of loss, love and the joy of music that endures. Featuring baroque instrumentalist, soprano and baritone solosists, and brought to life by stage director Ben Mills and Paragon’s acclaimed director Sarah Latto.

We’re planning open rehearsal and singing events as part of this project - more details coming soon!
