The Bromley Boy Singers is a concert choir with a well-established reputation for quality performance and musical education.
Our aim is to help boys discover their musical abilities in an environment that encourages them to have fun while avoiding the peer pressure that can sometimes discourage them from singing at school. To achieve that the choir is completely independent of any school or church, financed entirely from subscriptions and donations and receives no funding from statutory bodies. 
The choir performs an average of 10 concerts per year around Bromley and in central London, take part in local and national competitions, and tour abroad.
**BELGIUM TOUR OCTOBER 2018!** We're very excited about this opportunity - partially funded by The Peter Rose Foundation and The Friends of BBS bursary fund - to visit and perform in Jodoigne, Bruge and Ypres (the Menin Gate, attending 'The Last Post') We will also of course visit a Chocolate Factory! 40th ANNIVERSARY 2017 We celebrated four decades of music making with two special Anniversary concerts and a special commission, 'Broadside Ballads' premiered at the Brandenburg Choral Festival of London in November.
