If you are a choral singer looking for a new choir to join, why not come and try us out at our Open Rehearsal on Tuesday September 8th at All Saints, East Sheen Avenue, East Sheen SW14 8AX. Arrive by 7.30 for a 7.45 start. We are a friendly mixed voice choir of some 70 Singers and, led by our dynamic Musical Director, Julian Collings, and accompanied by our skilled accompanist, Elspeth Wilkes, we will be having a “first run-through” of Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem and Matthew Coleridge’s Requiem, which we plan to sing at our Winter Concert on Saturday, November 28 2026. Scores can be provided.
All Saints is easy to find by car and there is free parking in the surrounding residential streets. It’s a short walk from the Gilpin Avenue bus stop on the Upper Richmond Road (Buses 33, 337, 493), the nearest station is Mortlake. Bicycles can be brought into the church and left at the back.
We do not hold formal auditions but our musical director, will conduct a simple voice test to ensure that you are placed in the correct Section. Whilst it is helpful if you can read music, we provide all Members with access to rehearsal tracks for home practice, and we also offer optional musicianship classes on various subjects such as musical theory and sight singing.
