Joining the choir
The choir is open to all regardless of ethnicity, age, religion, gender, nationality, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, disability or political affiliation and no one is excluded from membership on financial grounds. There are no auditions and the choir includes people with a variety of musical experience.
We welcome new members and are interested in hearing from any keen singers who would like to join us.
We rehearse on Sundays between 5.30 and 7.00 pm at St John of Jerusalem Church, Lauriston Road, London E9 7DL.
Choir subscriptions
We rely on support from the local community and from choir subscriptions to finance our rehearsals and concerts. We are committed to keeping entry to our concerts free which we believe is crucial in making them accessible to a wide audience. Our subscriptions are set at a level which helps to make this possible. We are a registered charity so a large part of the subscriptions from taxpayer members is eligible for Gift Aid.

Concessions (Benefit claimants) |
