Additional workshops are sometimes held throughout the year. These are not compulsory, but are recommended as they are very helpful indeed in honing our skills!

City Chorus rehearses weekly on a Wednesday evening with time off during the school holidays. Ideally we’d like to see everyone at every rehearsal but we know that just isn’t always possible with work and family commitments. Section leaders are happy to discuss ways of keeping up with learning should you need to miss a rehearsal.
We like to have full Chorus attendance as much as possible at our two large concerts in the summer and at Christmas. For other events, numbers vary although our MD will always ensure the sound is balanced between sections.

The first 2 taster weeks are free to prospective new members.
There is a joining fee of £20. This fee includes music & administration costs.
