We always welcome new members. There is no audition to join the choir but you do need a reasonable voice and a desire to sing to as high a standard as possible. Some knowledge of reading music is highly desirable. If you can't read music you may struggle to learn the pieces. However, there are plenty of websites and books which teach the basics of reading music and there will always be someone to help, so all is not lost if you find it difficult at first.
If a new member is hoping to sing in a particular concert he or she should try to join at the beginning of the rehearsal period for that concert. Rehearsals for our next concert start on Tuesday 10th September 2024 and the concert is on Saturday 30th November 2024. If you are not sure whether or not this is for you we have a 'taster' session on Tuesday 7th September 2024.
Usually we suggest that prospective new members come to a couple of rehearsals to see how they get on before committing themselves. If you do join there is a subscription of £140 per annum payable in two instalments.
If you are interested in joining and would like more details either email info@chewvalleychoral.org.uk or telephone 07814098457.
