Leith Hill and Cambridge Timeline Choirs are welcoming new members throughout the summer term and you are invited to book yourself a place at any of the weekly rehearsals as a free introduction to the group.
Directed by composer and singer Stef Conner, Timeline Choir is a community singing group with a difference. It is open to all, with no requirement for members to be able to read music, and set apart by its specially-arranged and artistically ambitious repertoire, which celebrates the heritage of the local area, from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day.
Although there are no auditions to join the choir, prospective members should be aware that Stef aims for a high standard in performance – Timeline Choir members work hard to develop their singing and are entitled to experience the thrill of participating in a top quality concert. Although inclusiveness is part of the choir ethos, quality is important too and anyone who finds themselves struggling with pitching notes should be prepared to take some time out to work on it individually if it is affecting the overall sound.
Cambridge Timeline Choir rehearses on Thursdays during term time, from 7:30pm–9:15pm, at the St. Barnabas Centre on Mill Road. If you love to sing then come along and try out some new arrangements of folk songs collected in the East of England, as well as a selection of English Renaissance music and new commissions to mark the 2016 Shakespeare centenary! You can read more here and check the term dates here, then send an email to reserve yourself a place at a rehearsal. Your first session will be completely free.
