Join Us

We are expanding our membership in all voice parts.  Though we don’t formally audition new members, it’s desirable that you have some understanding of musical notation but the ability to sight sing is not essential. Why not come along to one of our rehearsals and see how we get along?

We are currently on our summer break, and resume rehearsals on Monday 9th September 2024.

We are holding an Open Rehearsal on Monday 16th September 7.30pm, where you can come along to try us out – do come, you’ll be made very welcome, and music will be provided.

If you have any queries, or would like to chat to someone first, get in touch on the Contact page, and we will respond.

I really enjoy singing with Forest – what a lovely friendly choir!  (new member, Spring 2024)

We practise every Monday at the Greenleaf Road Baptist Church in Walthamstow. We start at 7:30pm and finish at 9:45pm, with a 15 min interval for tea and biscuits. (Bring your own cup.)

Autumn term 2024 rehearsals run Monday 9 September until Monday 16 December inclusive. In September we’ll be rehearsing for the Mozart Mass in Cminor (see Concerts page).

For all new singers, the first term is free.  After that, the 2024-5 subscription is £276. You can also pay termly or in smaller instalments by standing order.
Students and benefit recipients are entitled to a concessionary rate of £120.
Membership is free for under-18s.
‘Guest members’ joining us for a specific concert will be asked for a donation – £70 as a suggestion.

A membership form will be given to new singers to complete and return so we have your contact details.
