Based in the City of London, City Chorus is a friendly choir that performs regularly in beautiful churches in the city.
Rehearsals are held on Tuesdays, 6.15-8.15 pm at the NatWest building, 1 Princes Street, right next to Bank station (Exit 1) and we holding a special
Open Evening for potential new members on Tuesday, 20th January 2009 at 6.15pm .
We welcome new singers in all voice ranges. If you are enthusiastic, have a good, true voice, and can attend rehearsals regularly, then come and give us a try! Best of all, there are no auditions (membership of City Chorus is open to all, without audition, at the discretion of the musical director): some choral singing experience and music-reading ability would be an advantage, but is not essential, as all works to be performed are thoroughly rehearsed over the course of each term.
City Chorus has recently performed in Christ Church Spitalfields and Southwark Cathedral, and forthcoming concerts include:
Friday 8 May 2009 – glorious English music by music by Elgar, Finzi, Holst, Vaughan Williams, Dyson etc;
Friday 10 July 2009 – “Baroque Discoveries” – exciting music that has lain unperformed since the eighteenth century, accompanied by professional early music ensemble.
The musical director of the choir is Paul Ayres, who also conducts the London College of Music Chamber Choir and the Walbrook Singers. He is associate accompanist of the Crouch End Festival Chorus, and works extensively as a composer and arranger.
