We are a community choir — a group of adults who meet to sing and enjoy secular music together. We are a mixed group with a wide age range, and we welcome everyone. In particular, we are keen to recruit men, and younger singers, who are under-represented in the choir at present.
Join us on Monday evenings at our rehearsal space St. Peter’s Church, Saltaire. Our belief is that everyone has a voice and can sing, so there are no auditions. We welcome new members for all parts. People fit in where their voice feels most comfortable.
If you are interested in joining, please see contact us for contact details.
Our repertoire includes songs from all over the world, particularly songs of celebration, peace and freedom. Most of our songs are three or four-part harmonies or rounds. or “call and response”.
We are mostly taught orally, with words and sometimes musical score. using natural voice methods and most songs are first taught aurally. We always provide words and sometimes music, but you don’t have to be able to read music – many of our members don’t.
We perform in public several times a year and all members are welcome to take part, although there is no pressure to do so. Most of us find performance exciting and enjoyable, but we understand that some will prefer just to come along to sing each week.
