The Essential Bits

We’re delighted you’d like to join Palace Acappella Choir and we look forward to singing together! Below are the essential details about membership. Please also read the full agreement here and get in touch before you sign if you have any questions. 

 

About us:

Palace Acappella Choir is a non-auditioned community choir in the heart of Crystal Palace. We believe that singing should be for everyone and our taster sessions are open to any adults who want to sing in a choir. We encourage fun, development, confidence-building, and a social space and network within a musical context. 

 

We aim to create a supportive and community-orientated space where everyone feels comfortable to participate in their own way. We welcome people of all backgrounds and identities and we encourage respect for each other, with no judgement on ability, and space for different learning styles. 

 

Choir members are not required to read music or to have prior experience of singing or being in a choir. However, we do ask that you engage fully during rehearsals, can work independently with the materials provided, and take personal responsibility for practising the pieces between sessions to be ready for any performances you would like to participate in.

 

If you have any access needs or adjustment needs that would help you take part please let us know and we’ll do our best to support you.
