We are an all-inclusive, mixed ability non-auditioned SATB rock, pop and modern music choir choir who were established over 10 years ago.

The choir provides an opportunity to develop strong friendships and have a great time, together with the commitment and hard work of our members, all of whom are passionate about singing and are excited to develop the choir further under the guidance of a new leader.
Our current MD will be handing over his baton in August after five incredibly successful years which have seen the choir blossom to a high standard. During his tenure, the choir’s membership has grown significantly, and our concert performances have developed with confidence. There has also been an outstanding improvement in the quality of our singing, and we are looking for an MD who can build on these successes and continue the choir’s development.
Choir rehearsals are held in Cubbington, Leamington Spa every Monday from 7:30 to 9:30pm, with ‘time off’ on some bank holidays and a short break at the end of the summer. We are also supported by a professional accompanist. We aim to deliver at least 2 concerts per year, together with performing at a variety of external events, together with raising funds for local and National charities.
The choir’s substantial repertoire is wide ranging from the 60s up to current day and includes: musical theatre, classical rock, love ballads, power ballads, indie rock, soul, country, disco, folk, soft rock and progressive symphonic rock to name but a few.
Essential requirements will be:
• Experience of leading rehearsals, teaching vocal techniques would be a bonus and promoting a high standard of performance
• The ability to engage with and encourage all choir members to develop their singing skills in a healthy and sustainable way
• Ability to produce vocal guides where required to support the choir
• Knowledge and experience of planning concert repertoire, and in conjunction with the committee, to provide the variety and challenge which will enthuse choir members and audiences.
