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 rehearsing Dvořák’s Stabat Mater for our May concert. Do come along to try us out – 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)
