Our singing year is divided into three terms, with rehearsals every Thursday.
We rehearse from 7:45pm to 10pm at the United Reformed Church at Water Lane, Bishop's Stortford CM23 2JZ and on the afternoon of the concert in the concert venue. We sometimes have a Saturday morning rehearsal fairly close to the concert itself.
We're always looking for new members and there are no auditions! Although you can join at any time, we recommend doing so near the beginning of any of the terms. In fact, we usually have an 'Open Rehearsal' at the start of each term and this is an ideal date to come along and see what we get up to!
Please see the Diary for further information on dates including half-term breaks, change of venue and the next Open Rehearsal.
Membership fees Fees are payable annually in full and are as follows for the 2023/24 season: Adult £165 | Free membership for students
We recognise that sometimes singers want to join us to perform a particular work. The one-off fee for a term is £80 but if you then decide you want to join the choir for the whole year, you can simply arrange with our Treasurer to pay the balance on the yearly fee.
Members’ fees are used to finance rehearsal room and music hire costs, pay our Musical Director and accompanist, and to book professional soloists and orchestras for our concerts.
Come along to one of our rehearsals and try us out. If you decide you’d like to join us, we will ask you for a payment in the third week.
