​

Are you interested in coming along to try us out?

 

We would be delighted to hear from you. 

​

We are a NOT-FOR-PROFIT Community Choir.

 

We were established in 2016 by Kirsty Andrew and are led by our very creative and talented Music Director David Knight. We aim to be inclusive to our community and keep our fees affordable for all.

 

Member Fees

• £20.00 per month, paid by STANDING ORDER on the 1st of every month. (You can cancel this at any time if you wish to leave). When we have received your first Standing Order we create your member's profile and offer you access to our website's exclusive Member's Page which has recording tracks, scores to download and other useful information. 

​

First Session

• Your first session with us is completely free.

 

Trial Sessions

• If you'd like to try us out for a few sessions before joining, single rehearsal sessions are £8.50. Payment is accepted at rehearsals by debit/credit card. This is offered as a temporary arrangement until you decide whether to join as a member.

 

How to Join

• Once you have attended a few sessions and decide you'd like to join us (and we really hope you do!), you'll need to set up a Standing Order to pay £20.00 on the 1st of every month. Our admin can provide you the bank details - just Contact Us.

 

We don't wish our fees to exclude anyone.

• Please contact us if you feel you can't pay these fees. We are a Community Choir and we wish no one to be excluded. We offer a generous bursary scheme for members who are unable to meet our fees. Your enquiry will be treated in the strictest confidence and sensitivity by our choir's administrator. You will be just as welcome as every member has always been.

 

What does your membership fee pay for? Not only are you supporting many local young musicians by funding essential music bursaries, your fees also contribute to the many expenses involved in running a Community Choir.   This includes, but is not limited to;

​

• Professional Fees (inc Choir Manager, Admin & Musical Director fees)

• Venue hire

• Website server fees

• Zoom fees

• Social Media advertising fees

• Musician's Union fees

• Public liability insurance fees

• Track recording production fees

• Music score licence fees

• Performance fees

• Marketing

• Handbills

• Concert planning

• Management and administration costs

• Lots of ink cartridges

• Fundraising Event expenses

• Printing costs

• Paper (music scores & registration forms, etc.)

 

 There are other costs, but you get the idea!
