Our City Academy Voices is an exciting contemporary choir that meets in central London. The group sings a wide variety of musical styles including classical, musical theatre, pop and gospel. The choir is open to singers of all genders with any voice type, and is a great way of meeting like-minded people in a creative environment.

See them in action or better yet...book yourself onto a taster to experience the magic of the Voices.
The City Academy Voices is open to anyone with some previous singing experience. The choir is not suitable for absolute beginners. If you don't have the experience required, we recommend you complete a Beginners Singing and Improvers Singing course before progressing to the choir.
We are always looking for new members - so if you have a love of performing and are looking to develop your vocal technique, please contact info@city-academy.com for more information.
As a member of the Voices, you don’t have to commit to every rehearsal evening, as we appreciate people have busy lives. However, putting on a choir show takes a lot of hard work, practise at home and commitment in order for it to be a success, so we do ask that you attend as many classes as you can.
