Join our choir
We begin rehearsing on 10th Jan 2024, and new members are warmly welcomed to the choir and we encourage anyone with an interest in choral singing to get in touch. While choral experience is valuable, a love of singing and a desire to learn is more important. We do not audition new members – you will be introduced to a Part Representative who can help you find the right voice and place in the choir.
Where: Crossways Community Baptist Church, Junction Road, Dorking, RH4 3HB (opposite the vehicle entrance to Waitrose car park)
When: Wednesday evenings, all year, except for July and August.
What time: 7:30pm to 9:30pm (with a refreshment break), after which we enjoy a drink and a catch up at a local pub.
Singing members pay an annual subscription which covers three terms of singing, four concerts, a professional conductor and musicians and, from September – June, a central Dorking rehearsal location.
Annual subscription: 2023/24 – £195
Members under 30yrs: FREE
Annual subscriptions are set by our Committee, with a generous discount for early payment.
There is an additional charge for our Spring concert which is part of the Leith Hill Music Festival.
How to join
We are a friendly, sociable group who thoroughly enjoy our singing and strive for the highest standards. New members are always very welcome.
