Sing with Choir 2000

Yes, Choir 2000 needs you! Our members come from many communities around Cambridge, especially the local villages of Histon and Impington. If you would like to sing with us, just turn up at a rehearsal - there are no auditions to join the Choir, though being able to read music, even if not very well, is obviously an advantage!

Here is the brochure for the current (2007-08) season . [opens in separate window].

Here are samples from our previous concerts

Becoming a member

There is a basic enrolment fee of £20.00 p.a. at the beginning of the season (and a participation fee of £15.00 (£20.00 summer term only) for each full term of rehearsals and two performances. There is a £5.00 reduction for those who pay for the full year in advance and a reduced enrolment fee for new members who join later in the season. In cases of hardship the committee may agree to waive part or all of the participation fees. If you wish to buy your own copy of the music for a particular concert, this can be arranged - please ask our librarian for details.

Recent workshops have been led by the choir's Honorary President, John Rutter , David Hill and former King's Singer Bob Chilcott. See our "Past Events" page for further details.
