Wild Chorus

Location

Friends’ Meeting House, Kirkgate, Cockermouth CA13 9PH

Description

Wild Chorus is about connection: with each other; with our collective creativity; with audiences; with, in and through nature in the promotion of living more sustainably – freeing our voices to sing together in wild places!

Inspired by the wildness of the natural world, Wild Chorus is a performance choir led by Dave Camlin. By singing together in nature, we hope to promote the importance of wild places for the biodiversity and health of our planet.

Wild Chorus is a relaxed and friendly performance choir, for singers with some experience, and who are looking for a fun vocal challenge with like-minded singers. The emphasis is on having fun making a good sound together, singing material from rock, pop and folk traditions from around the world. You’re expected to be able to:

  • Commit to weekly rehearsal and personal practice in order to learn repertoire
  • Adjust your voice to blend with the group
  • Sing confidently and accurately
  • Follow a musical score.

During weekly rehearsals, we warm our bodies and voices up, and learn songs to perform as well as simply singing for pleasure. We learn repertoire mainly by ear, although lyrics, scores and rehearsal MP3s are all available to help you learn. You don’t need to be able to ‘sight read’ notation, but you do need to be able (or willing to learn!) to follow it.

Session times

Tuesdays 19:00 - 21:00 (term time)

Wild Goose Choir

Location

South Brent Village Hall, Station Approach, South Brent, Devon, TQ10 9JL

Description

Wild Goose Choir is a new folk-based community choir. In the sessions, we will learn a range of material within the folk canon, from the very traditional, to the modern-day. There is no audition process and absolute beginner choir singers are very welcome. An ability to sing in tune is vital, as is an openness to learn new vocal techniques. We will seek to perform at least twice a year, showcasing the songs and arrangements we have been learning. Therefore, a commitment to regular rehearsals and a willingness to perform is essential. Songs will be taught by ear initially but sheet music with all parts will also be available for you to use in sessions and take away for practise.

With Wild Goose Choir, I aim to create a safe, encouraging, warm community where members can enjoy the many benefits that group singing can bring, whilst also learning and improving their individual vocal techniques and abilities.

 

Session times

Tuesday evenings in term-time from 7-9pm

Wild Harmony

Wildfire Women

Location

St Serfs Church, 1a Clark Road, Edinburgh, UK

Description

We have started singing together in person again. If you want to be added to the email list to get a weekly reminder, drop me a line. If you want to do some singing from home, there are now lots of short learn and singalong videos with new songs that I’ve been putting up during the pandemic. You can find the archive here: https://singlouderthanguns.com/singalong-songs/

Wildfire Women’s Choir are more of a singing community than a choir – we meet weekly, but you don’t have to come every week, just come as and when you can. We learn songs by ear from around the world, often about freedom, women’s struggles, strength and solidarity.​

All women are welcome, everyone can sing! Drop in from time to time or come every week, whatever suits your life best.
