Back for another term!
Following our back to singing programme after the trials and tribulations of Covid, we are delighted to invite you to sing with us during our 2022 Summer Term.  

We welcome all those who wish to sing to a high standard of choral music and are prepared to attend regular rehearsal sessions leading to concert performances with, where appropriate, professional soloists and orchestra. 

Although we do not audition, being able to sight read music is desirable, but not a requirement. In addition, previous choir experience, although not necessary, would be an advantage. 

If possible, at some point in the future when you are settled and feel comfortable with the choir, it would be helpful if you would consider being able support the wider aims of the choir, by sharing whatever skills you may have, in helping us with our social and fundraising events and day to day running of the choir. We firmly believe the more helpers we have, the less any one person has to do.


Please, ​Do come and join us!

​After the Covid-19 lockdown experience, we have really enjoyed restarting our singing. We would encourage anybody who is thinking of joining a choir, to come and join us, you won't regret it! It would be wonderful to see you and we look forward to giving you a very warm welcome.

Whether you are a new member of the Choir, or a returning member, we sincerely hope you have a very enjoyable time  singing with us, making friends and socialising.

We want you to feel excited about joining us, but we also want you to know that your health and wellbeing are at the heart of our “Return to Singing” plan. We have undertaken an exhaustive Risk Assessment and taken action in all concerned areas to ensure your return is safe by ensuring any risk is kept to a minimum.
