These sessions are perfect for people new to Greenwich looking to meet others, anyone who feels isolated or lacks confidence, those curious about singing but worried about commitment, or people who’ve never sung in a group before.

Participants will learn simple songs from our repertoire, build vocal skills, and discover the joy of singing together.

Finding common ground. 🌱🧡

Members of our choir spent a wonderful day outside of London yesterday, exploring the property Emmetts Garden in Kent! We particularly enjoyed hearing about some incredibly resilient trees from volunteer, John.

This visit was part of an exciting collaboration (more details to come soon!) that captured what natural spaces like these mean to our members, in their own words. Watch this space! 🌷
