Join the Choir

Join Us! Bristol Cabot Choir is looking for Sopranos and Tenors


We are a friendly auditioned choir, of varying ages, with almost 40 years experience of choral singing in Bristol.

  • The choir's repertoire embraces music from different centuries, from renaissance to brand new commissions.
  • We perform with professional soloists and orchestras.
  • We have opportunities to work with vocal coaches from WNO and singers and composers from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

 

If you are interested in joining, please contact the Choir Secretary, Monica Rudston, on 0117 9426095 or rudston@btinternet.com.  All new singers have a short audition with our musical director, who will ask you to sing some scales or vocal exercises, followed by a simple well-known song.

 

Rehearsals
Rehearsals are held on Mondays (7.30pm to 9.30pm) during term-time at Redland Park United Reformed Church, Whiteladies Road. The last two Monday rehearsals before a concert are slightly longer with the penultimate rehearsal finishing at 9.45pm and the final rehearsal finishing at 10.00pm.

Music
Music is generally hired by the choir but you may sometimes be asked to purchase music. Music folders will be provided for use at concerts.

Subscriptions
The annual subscription is £120.00 payable in two instalments:

£60.00 in September

Venues and dates for concerts will be announced as they are arranged. Normally there will be one concert at Christmas, one in Spring and one in early Summer.
