Sing With Us

Ripon Choral Society is always keen to welcome new singing members. If you would like to sing with us then you can either contact our secretary in advance, or just come along to a rehearsal and introduce yourself. Details of rehearsal times and venue are on the tab on the right. We are a community choir, open to anyone. But being able to read music, if only at a basic level, will be needed. At one of your first rehearsals you will be asked to undertake a short, and very easy, voice test in a group, singing with other new starters. Singing members pay an annual subscription. They are expected to attend regularly at rehearsals and to participate in the Society’s concert programme.
