We welcome new members. We do not audition, but you need to be able to read music, preferably at sight. You are welcome to join us for two to three rehearsals to make up your mind whether we're right for you. We do ask for a commitment to regular attendance at rehearsals. If you find you have to miss several rehearsals in a term, we would ask that you withdraw from the concert and then rejoin us at the start of the next term – but come and be part of the audience for the concert if you can! We rehearse on Tuesday evenings at St Mary, Oatlands.
What do we wear for concerts? It's dinner jacket for the men, and long black skirts and coloured tops for the women.
At present we would particularly welcome new tenors and basses, but also have vacancies for sopranos and altos. Membership costs £35 per term, or £100 per annum if you pay for the year in advance. We think that at roughly £3 per evening, this is good value, particularly as it includes the hire of all the music (though there may occasionally be the opportunity to buy your own copy if you wish.)
