Membership of the choir is open to all who are enthusiastic to sing the great choral works of the European tradition. Before committing to membership we hope that the two trial rehearsals you can attend will help you assess if choral singing is right for you!
Members need to develop the skill to hold a line in harmonic music, and listening to others in the choir should assist you with this. We encourage all to participate, but members who consistently miss rehearsals (we usually require a 75% attendance rate) or consistently hit the wrong note (!), may not be able to sing in our concerts.

Choir Members’ Assistance
Monday evening rehearsals require helpers to come early and help set up the school hall – arrange chairs, put up tables for signing-in, refreshments, etc., keyboard, music stands.
Various choir members (and their families!) assist with such necessary tasks as concert ticket distribution to choir members; rehearsal refreshments; arranging for the distribution and collection of hired scores, and website administration.
It is also helpful if members can publicise our concerts by distributing posters and flyers; liking and sharing our social media posts and selling tickets!
The Officers and Members of WKCS Committee are grateful for all the assistance provided by choir members; they would be pleased too, if you might consider joining them on the committee.

Concert works are selected by the Committee after consultation with the Musical Director and the Programme Subcommittee, this comprises members of the choir from the SATB voice parts and the MD. Choir members are also invited to submit their ideas for future concerts to a member of the committee.

The yearly subscription of £125 starts from September, and covers our permanent costs such as the Musical Director, accompanist and rehearsal and concert premises. Membership is on a yearly or termly (£45 per term) basis.
