Hillingdon Choral Society

Get ready for Christmas by joining us for Hillingdon Choral Society's Autumn Term

Music available for collection on Monday 7th September (and existing members please remember to drop off your old music)

Rehearsals start on Monday 14th September and run from 7.45pm to 9.45pm (finish time may be earlier for Zoom rehearsals).

After a successful trial in the summer term we will resume our Monday evening rehearsals online using Zoom in September. When conditions allow us to do so safely, and in accordance with government guidance, we intend to move to in-person rehearsals in small groups, and eventually to full in-person reheasals. Dependent on Government instructions at the time we hope to hold a Christmas concert in whatever form possible.

During rehearsals you can see other choir members and feel part of our community.

We take a short social break during each rehearsal to chat online in small, random groups and we are always pleased to welcome newcomers.
Email hillingdonchoralsociety@gmail.com to get further information and join in the fun.
