Join Us
Membership
We are a welcoming, enthusiastic and friendly choir and are always looking for new members in all voice parts to join us. We currently have approximately 50 members and our singing talents range from the experienced to the novice, but we all love making music. We perform three concerts per year and our main concert venue is St James's Church, Louth. We regularly perform with professional musicians and singers.
Under the leadership of our Musical Director, Alison Willis, and our Assistant Musical Director, David Parker, we hope you find our rehearsals enjoyable. Rehearsals are held weekly from September through to early July. They are held at the Salvation Army Community Centre, Church Street, Louth on Mondays from 7.30-9.30pm with a 15-minute refreshment break. Music scores are normally available to choir members free of charge and a black folder for concerts will be provided. We hold open rehearsals in the first two weeks of each term for you to try with no obligation to pay.
Membership of the choir is open to all singers over the age of 16. Members pay an annual subscription in September and are required to pass a simple (and unintimidating!) audition solely to ensure members are allocated to the appropriate voice section. Students (aged 16-18) do not pay a membership fee.
Our aims are simple - to perform to the highest possible standards, choral music that is challenging, interesting and entertaining. Success of the Choir depends on support of every member. Accordingly, your regular attendance, energetic sale of tickets, looking our for new members and active and verbal support of the Choir goes a long way to achieving this.
