Why do we need New Members?
Huddersfield Choral Society has stated its aim to be recognised as the country’s leading choir, and to do so we need to raise our profile to a wider audience.
This means being able to accept more and more invitations to perform all over the UK and abroad, which in turn requires a larger choir membership to manage the workload!
We are also very fortunate in being able to collaborate with top class orchestras and conductors.
So as you can see, these continue to be very exciting times for The Choral, and to maintain this momentum we are keen to recruit new members to share the thrill and pleasure of singing with this great organisation.
The choir itself is a friendly community of like-minded people, including members of all ages and from many walks of life. Rehearsals take place on Friday evenings with chorus master Joseph Cullen and the atmosphere is one of enjoyment and professionalism.
Membership is by way of a short audition, lasting only about 10 minutes. Previous experience of choral singing is not necessary although the ability to read music and a basic level of sight-reading are expected. Prospective members are given a clear idea of what is involved so that they can prepare, and the audition itself is conducted in a relaxed, friendly manner to give candidates every opportunity of gaining membership. Potential new members are also given the opportunity to participate in some of the choir’s weekly rehearsals before deciding whether to audition. More information about auditioning.
We audition throughout the year, so if you are interested in becoming a member please contact:
