Sing your heart out with City Academy’s Singers Choir - a vibrant mixed-voice group based in the heart of the City. From nostalgic 80s and 90s pop and rock hits to beautiful folk songs and contemporary choral works, this choir brings together eclectic music and a lively, welcoming community.
Led by Musical Director Eamonn O’Dwyer, rehearsals are designed to boost your confidence, expand your vocal range, and develop your choral performance skills, all while making new friends in a fun and supportive setting.
If you’re interested in joining Singers Choir, you must attend a taster session. During the taster you will attend a regular rehearsal and meet the rest of the choir. At the end of the evening there will be an informal audition: the MD will take the opportunity to hear you sing and assess your suitability for the group. There is no need to prepare anything for this. Following the audition, our team will inform you via email if you have been accepted.
