[Testimonial from a past Member]

I have had a wonderful 18 years as a member of the choir - it has been a real joy to sing such a wide repertoire with you - thank you for that and thank you to all my fellow choir members who have been so kind and supportive in recent years. Good luck and keep up the good work.

Come and Join Us!

Special: We need TENORS!!

We've always had a splendid Tenor section, both in quantity and quality - not to mention personal beauty (see right).  BUT, a few of our longer-serving members are stepping aside, allegedly to open the way for new blood, but really because they are retiring.  This is YOUR Chance!  If you are (or think you might be) a Tenor, and you think you are lovely enough to fit in our line-up of exquisites, then come along!  Every Wednesday at 7:30 pm, starting September 8th, at Durham Johnston School (see details below).  We have an excellent programme for you, so don't hesitate!

Join, Join, Join! (even if you are NOT a tenor...)

New members are always extremely welcome.  We're a very friendly bunch, so you'll meet plenty of new friends over the tea break to chat to, as well as at the annual dinner and other social events.  The termly raffle has a HUGE range of donated prizes, and raises considerable funds.

To join, you can email the Membership Secretary  - or just come along to a rehearsal, and see if you like us!  There's no audition, and all prospective members can try the Choral society for up to four weeks, to see if it's for them (and, indeed, them for us).  After that there is an annual subscription, with concessions available. 

We rehearse on Wednesday evenings, 7.30 - 9.45pm, in Durham Johnston School, Crossgate Moor, Durham (Maps are available from streetmap.co.uk).
