Membership

If you would  like to audition to go on our waiting list, here is some information for you

  • Our practice is to invite interested singers to attend two choir rehearsals, followed by an informal, non-scary audition with the MD, usually at the end of an evening rehearsal. 
  • We are looking for singers, not only with musical skills but who will blend with the choir vocally and socially and who have the time to commit to rehearsals and concerts.
  • Prospective candidates shouldn't be deterred by under confidence as the choir is fully supportive of new members and proposes various methods to assist with learning new pieces. 
  • Ability to sight read is useful but not top priority. 
  • We rehearse on a Thursday evening from 8.00 to 10.00 pm in Otley Village Hall and perform at least 3 or 4 concerts per year, including singing in some special venues like Ely Cathedral Lady Chapel.​
  • Candidates interested in joining Suffolk Singers should contact newmembers@suffolksingers.co.uk with a brief summary of their experience of singing in chorus and musical ability then visit a rehearsal.
  • The choir year runs from 1st August to 31st July and we follow the school term times.
  • Membership costs £144 per annum, covering the choir year and can be paid in instalments of £12 per month
