About MKCS
Mount Kelly Choral Society is a SATB community choir based in Tavistock. We are dedicated to fostering talent, harmony, and friendship through our shared enjoyment of singing and performance.
MKCS was founded in 1976 by the Reverend Anthony Curry, Director of Music at Tavistock's Kelly College. His ambition was to establish in Tavistock a mixed choir that could perform major choral works for pleasure.
​
The Choir maintains close ties with the college, now known internationally as Mount Kelly, and often features students performing in lead roles.
