Of Elmbridge Choir

Being a member of the
Elmbridge Choir is a work of love and just needs
your time and dedication. It doesn't require
anyone to have a trained voice, or singing
certificates and diplomas - even if you have
never sung before, but have a burning desire to
sing - you're welcome! |
|
New members - experienced or
not, are always welcome. We do not audition - so
just complete the registration form - and turn
up at our rehearsals - We can assure you of a
warm and lasting welcome! |
|
Although most choir members
are from the Elmbridge area, you are not
ineligible if you live outside Elmbridge - we
also have choir members who live outside the
area. |
