• The choir is open to all who enjoy choral music, are keen to participate in choral singing and to improve their singing.

• There are no auditions.

• The repertoire involves singing in four parts (and sometimes more).

• You must be able to sing in tune, and a basic ability to read music is very desirable. However, you don’t need to be able to sight-sing.

• To help you learn your parts between rehearsals, you will be directed towards online aids.

• If you are a novice, and have an enthusiastic willingness to learn, you will be welcome to come and try us out.

 

What it costs:

​

• Those under 30 pay 50% of the subscription rate, but are expected to buy their own scores.

• Those in receipt of Universal Credit or other benefits designed to top up living allowances are entitled to a concessionary rate of £2.50/month and may borrow scores free of charge.

• Others experiencing financial hardship are invited to approach the Treasurer (lwcs.treasurer@gmail.com) in confidence, as other concessions may be possible, including borrowing scores.
