The NAC is an organisation run by volunteer officers with the aim of promoting choral music across the UK. To do this we provide help and assistance to member choirs, via this website, our periodic magazines News & Views, contact numbers and email addresses. Have a look at the Structure section under the Information button.
Our membership is growing rapidly and currently numbers around 700 choirs from all around the UK. If you would like to find a choir local to you, see the choirs link and follow either the choirs map or go to the geographic group that interests you.
If you are already a member choir you will be able to access information, not available to the general public, in the Members Area. Here you will find copies of News & Views, minutes of meetings, full details of our insurance scheme, advice sheets and many other interesting snippets of information. To get into the Members Area you will need to contact our Webmaster for a username and password.
In addition to the magazine, published three times per year, we hold a three-day conference which is built round our AGM. The conference moves around the country to a different area each year, so that every member choir has the opportunity to send their representative to Conference without having to travel too far. For 2025 we will be travelling to the Holiday Inn in Wakefield to hold our Conference from 4-6 April and information about this will be in the summer edition of News & Views.
We are here to help with all aspects of running a choir - we know the problems that go with trying to be a business in the voluntary world - and if we don't know the answers we know people who do. Do have a look in the Members Area if you are a member choir - if you are not yet a member you can explore the advantages of joining the Association under Information-Membership. The officers of the Association have considerable hands-on experience from running their own choirs and they are always available to assist on the phone or by email.
Above all else, enjoy your singing!
Brenda Wilkinson
Honorary Chairman and Membership Officer
