Barry Community Choir

Community

We are one of the largest mixed gender choirs in the area

Rehearsal

Wednesday evening at St John Methodist Church, Barry Island, CF62 5TR from 7.00pm to 8.30pm

No Auditions

Don’t worry if you can’t read music as we have procedures in place to give you a hand. We promise it won’t stop you singing!

We have a first-class energetic and enthusiastic Music Leadership Team in:

Alison Shone – a highly experienced and professional soprano performer, singing teacher and conductor, and truly motivational choir leader; and Amy Reynolds – a professional and highly experienced accompanist, pianist & piano teacher, and a real support to members. Live music accompaniment contributes hugely to a positive choir experience.

Ali’s and Amy’s energy and evident passion for helping others to enjoy good music, alongside their skills and experience result in consistent delivery of a true “feel-good” vibe, both at rehearsals and performances.

We sing a wide variety of music, including classical, pop, folk, soul, musical theatre, using sheet music from our own library, and usually produce 2 concerts a year of our own. We like to include local musicians in our productions and invite established musicians and students.

We also go into the local community with our music and sing in a variety of clubs and care homes (plus the occasional pub!) We also perform to support other charities and causes in their events, e.g. the annual Mayor of Barry’s charity events, Amelia Trust Farm, Barry Pride, Ikea-hosted event for Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital Charity.

If you would like to find out more about us and have a taste of what it’s like to be in a Choir then why not call in at one of our rehearsals – you can join in, chat with us – or just sit and listen.
We promise you a warm welcome without any obligation to join.
