Christ Church Community Chorus
The Christ Church Community Chorus is a project-based choir that rehearses once a week and performs at the cathedral. Everyone is welcome to join.
You don’t need to read music or have singing experience, and you can take part in individual projects without committing long-term. Membership is free – the only requirement is the willingness to give it a try.
The choir is led by an experienced and supportive music team that makes new members feel at ease. We aim to make this a space where everyone feels welcome.
Previous Community Chorus Projects
Tales of Christmas
This term, Christ Church Community Chorus invite you to join them around the fire to tell Christmas stories. This project is sure to get you in a Christmassy mood and will feature lots of tunes you already know and some you may not (yet!).
Anyone can join, whether they have sung in a choir before or not, and there is no requirement to read music or complete an audition.
Dido & Aeneas
The Winter 2025 Christ Church Community Chorus project explored the world of opera with a performance of Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas on 13 April.
With a stellar cast of soloists and chorus parts, including witches, sailors, and courtiers, it was an enjoyable and engaging project for everyone involved.
Summer Concert
For their summer project, the choir performed two pieces at the Cathedral’s end-of-term concert: Parry’s Hear my words, ye people and Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus.
They sang alongside the Christ Church Cathedral Choir on Friday, 28 June.
Requiem for the Armed Man
The choir’s spring-term project, Requiem for the Armed Man, ran from January to March 2024.
They performed two choral works with organ and soloists from the Cathedral Choir: selections from The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace by Karl Jenkins, and Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem.
The concert took place on Saturday, 23 March.
