Open Rehearsal: the more, the merrier

We encourage friends who may be interested in singing with us to come along to an open rehearsal, and we love having friends and family at our concerts.

The first two weeks of each term are held as "open rehearsals," free to attend and see what it's like. From the third week, you'll be required to register and pay to be part of the group.
