Forthcoming Events
Summer Term of our 40th Anniversary Year
Term starts on 19th April. We'll start our Summer off singing via Zoom. Zoom rehearsals may be shorter sessions than usual, but they start at our usual time of 7.45pm.
-
Provisional date for informal concert: Saturday 3rd July.
-
Music can be collected from Ickenham URC car park on Thursday 15th April between 3pm and 4pm, or email us at hillingdonchoralsociety@gmail.com for alternative arrangements to pick up music between 15th and 19th April. Please drop off any Christmas music you still have (books and folders) at the same time.
Ickenham United Reformed Church is at Swakeleys Road, Ickenham, UB10 8BE (map).
Our rehearsals will be held over Zoom at the start of term and then, as long as government guidance allows, we intend to move to in-person rehearsals again with a Zoom option for those who need it, and eventually to full in-person rehearsals.
During Zoom rehearsals you can see other choir members and feel part of our community.
We take a short social break during each Zoom rehearsal to chat online in small, random groups.
During the Summer term we're singing a variety of short pieces. We aim to keep the sessions fun and provide something for all levels of singers to enjoy.
Email hillingdonchoralsociety@gmail.com to get further information and join in the fun.

A whole term of Zoom rehearsals! We enjoyed singing a mixture of short pieces in the virtual company of others, with chatty breaks in small groups.
Hillingdon Choral Society's Autumn Term
Sadly, we were not able to give a Christmas Concert this year, but that didn't stop us from singing! We met over the Autumn term via Zoom, and in-person when permitted, to sing a variety of Christmas songs.
