Looking for a choir to join?

We would love to welcome you to our next term!

Membership is open to anyone with or without choral experience. You don’t have to be able to read music and there are no auditions. Don’t worry if you don’t know what part you sing (soprano, alto, tenor or bass); we can help you to work that one out.

We aim to achieve high vocal standards, whilst maintaining a relaxed, friendly and inclusive social atmosphere.

The choir rehearses weekly on Tuesday evenings during term times, from 7.30pm to 9.30pm, at William Ellis School. Sessions start with a vocal warm up, then rehearsal of the term’s repertoire. There is a 15 minute break for socialising.

Our Spring and Autumn terms focus on classical works, which we perform at two concerts, around Easter and Christmas time – you can see what we have sang in the past on our Concerts page.  Our Summer term is shorter and more relaxed, and we explore a more eclectic mix of folk songs and shorter classical pieces.

The membership fee for the Spring 2025 term is £60. Fees for the other terms are yet to be confirmed. We offer concessionary rates to full-time students, unwaged members or those receiving State Benefits.

We encourage all voices to join us at the beginning of the term – the Term dates page lists the current term dates and rehearsal schedule.

You can also visit us on Instagram and/or Facebook to find out more about us.

How to join us

If you’re ready to join the choir, fill out this form to provide us with your contact details.

Please come early on the first week of the term to give us time to register you and give out scores. New singers are welcome to “try before you buy” in the first three weeks of the term, so you have nothing to lose!

We don’t take card payments, so please remember to bring cash or a cheque to pay for the term’s membership.

If you have any questions, just email us. If you haven’t heard back from us, please check your spam or junk mail folder in case our reply got stuck there, and add us to your “safe senders”.

How to find us

We rehearse at William Ellis School. We meet in the main hall on the first floor. From the main entrance turn right and go up the stairs. At the top of the stairs, the hall doors are in front of you.
