Have you ever sat in the audience during a performance of Handel's 'Messiah' and thought to yourself, 'I wish I was singing up there'? Have you ever listened to a piece as magical as Mozart's 'Requiem' on Classic FM and wondered if you could take part in music-making like that.
Well........you can!
If singing is your New Year's Resolution, don't let another year pass by without doing something about it, and don't be one of those millions of adults who regret never taking part in anything musical - read on.......
It may seem daunting joining a new club, society or group as an adult - we wonder whether we will enjoy it or of we will be accepted by existing members. With Carshalton Choral Society you absolutely don't need to worry.
We are a really friendly, sociable group of people who enjoy singing and making music together. You can be assured of a warm welcome - all you need to do is turn up!
Previous experience of singing is useful, but we welcome beginners and those who haven't really sung properly before. We have all levels of ability in the choir, from novices to music graduates - so don't feel intimidated if you want to just 'have a go' for the first time. We supply learning tapes/CDs for those who would like them (at a small cost), so don't worry too much if you can't read music very well.
We do not audition new members (so that isn't an excuse for not coming!), although the conductor might check your voice with a few simple scales before or after a rehearsal to make sure you are singing the correct voice part.
We rehearse on a Monday evening from 8pm till 10pm in the Lower Hall, Carshalton Methodist Church, Ruskin Road, Carshalton, with an occasional extra Thursday night rehearsal during the week of a concert. All members try to make it to the rehearsals a few minutes early so that we make a prompt start at 8pm!
We always want to welcome new members to the Society, so come and join in our passion and fun. You won't regret it!
