The City Academy Singers is a vibrant mixed-voice choir located in the heart of the City. Led by dynamic musical director Eamonn O’Dwyer, the Singers meet once a week to sing an eclectic mix of rock and pop hits (lots from the 80s and 90s!), beautiful folk songs and stunning contemporary choral works.
If you’re interested in joining the Singers, please sign up for a taster session. You will come along to a regular Monday night rehearsal with the whole group, and then stay for a short and very informal audition with Eamonn at the end of the evening, just to assess your level of ability.
The choir isn’t suitable for absolute beginners; some singing or choral experience is necessary, plus a strong ear for harmony too!
Following the taster, our team will inform you via email if you have been accepted.
In weekly rehearsals, you will develop in the following areas:
Jazz, Classical, Pop & Rock and lots of 80's and 90's classics.
Mixed, all genders welcome!
Runs weekly on a Monday
Liverpool Street
The choir is a mixed group and all genders are welcome. It’s a great platform to meet like-minded musicians in a fun and sociable environment.
The City Academy Singers is open to anyone with some previous singing experience. If you don’t have the experience required, we recommend completing Singing Beginners Singing and Singing Improvers course before progressing to the choir.
If you’d like to find out more, you can contact info@city-academy.com for more information.
City Academy Singers perform in showcases and larger scale productions each year at prestigious music venues across London. Additional performances for the choir may also include community projects and live music events.
The choir is led by performer, composer and musical director, Eamonn O'Dwyer.
Eamonn trained at the Royal Academy of Music. He played the pivotal role of the Song Man in the National Theatre’s multi-award-winning War Horse in the West End, and has recently returned from a tour of the UK, understudying the role of Tevye in Craig Revel Horwood’s 5-star production of Fiddler on the Roof.
