About the Choir
The choir in concert, December 2021
Kendal South Choir is a long-established and versatile choir based in Kendal, Westmorland, about 50 strong, rehearsing and performing a wide variety of classical music, from oratorio, masses, and cantatas to new and interesting pieces such as jazz and spirituals.
Highlights include
We present two major concerts a year, generally accompanied by professional musicians and soloists.
A list of previous programmes appears on the Concerts page.
Come and sing with us!
The Choir is open to all singers without audition. Ability to read music is helpful, but not essential - come and learn with us! Our Director gives us excellent voice improvement exercises, so don't worry if you haven't sung since you were at school - just bring enthusiasm and a tuneful voice. Rehearsals are always fun!
We meet on Tuesdays at 7.30pm at Stricklandgate Methodist Church in Kendal, and we especially welcome new tenors and basses. Free parking is available at the nearby County Hall in the evening.
Come along and join us for a trial period - use the form on the Contact Us page to find out the most suitable occasion to come. A chat with our Director will help you find where your voice lies.
There's no requirement that you live in the Kendal area - we have members from Windermere, Lancaster and Grange-over-Sands.
