Membership
We rehearse on Tuesday evenings 7.30 - 9.30pm at St Clement's Church, Scarcroft Road, York YO23 1NE. We meet around 35 times a year with breaks at Christmas, Easter and over the summer.
We recommence after the summer break on 3rd September 2024. We will not meet in half term week (29th October). Term ends on 10th December and we restart in the New Year on 7th January 2025 and run through to 1st April, with a break for half term on 18th February. Our summer term in 2025 starts on 22nd April and ends on 5th July, with a half term break on 27th May.
We perform four times a year. Our next performance will be when we contribute to the St Clement's Carol Service on 10th December. Our concerts next year will be on Saturday 25th January 2025, Saturday 28th June with a repeat programme on Saturday 5th July.
​
Choir members are expected to commit to regular attendance at rehearsals and to participate in concerts. We also expect members to be prepared to undertake some work during the week, when necessary.
We are always interested in hearing from singers who might like to join us. Prospective members need to be able to read music. We currently have vacancies in all sections, especially in the lower voices.
When we have a space, potential new members are invited to a rehearsal. The MD makes a point of listening out for new singers and aims to have a chat with them during the mid-session break. The decision to welcome a new member lies with the MD.
