We do not have voice tests to select members. All are welcome, subject to approval of the Society's Committee.
We believe that you will gain much more enjoyment from the rehearsals and concert performances if you are able to read music.
Do let us know in advance that you will be coming along. Just email us at info@emberchoral.org.uk.
As a registered charity, Ember Choral Society has a published constitution (set of rules). You can see the full text on the Constitution web page.

Our aim is to make you feel really welcome when you arrive for the first time.
Each voice section has a “Voice Rep”. Your Voice Rep will ensure you are looked after for the first couple of rehearsals, so ask for your rep by name:

Because the Society's finances were well run over the past year, the committee has been able to hold the subscription unchanged for another year!
The current subscription is still £120 per year, reduced to £100 for those who pay by the last rehearsal in September.
For members joining between January and March, the subscription is reduced to £60.00.
Music is available for hire, usually at £1-£2 per copy. New members may hire music straight away, but we must have your contact details.
By advance request, you can also buy music from the Society at normal retail prices.
We rehearse every Wednesday evening, apart from July and August when the choir takes a break.
Rehearsals start at 7.45 pm and finish between 9.45 pm and 10pm.
We meet in the hall annexe to the Church of Our Lady, Hampton Court Way, Thames Ditton KT7 0LP.
