Performances and Events
Sing! Choirs have been performing for many years since we began in 2011, and enjoy a wide variety of performance opportunities, including many supporting local charities and community events.
Here are all our upcoming events and performances, as well as information about some of the ones we have done previously.
Do check back to keep up-to-date with our adventures during LockDown!
LockDown Singing 2020/2021 (most recent first)
Our new charity single!
Our new charity single is "Stars" from Les Miserables!
You can view it by clicking here
We have done a collaboration of recordings with one we did in 2018 at Abbey Road Studios, and a new one with lots of "virtual" voices!
We hope you enjoy it - we supported All In Sound, a registered charity dedicated to providing music-making opportunities for people, including those living with dementia and their carers.
Thank you so much for your support.
What we did in 2020!
A video showing all of our Sing!-ing throughout our choirs LockDown in 2020!

Light Up A Life
Our sixth year of being invited to Sing! at this special event hosted by Arthur Rank Hospice Charity.
Whilst we couldn't sing in person this year, we still chose and arranged a special song for the event which we all then sang in our homes, recording ourselves and the results can be seen and heard by clicking here. This year we chose "Run" by Snow Patrol.
You can also watch the full Light Up A Life event by clicking here, where you can also hear again our recording of "Wings" from earlier in LockDown by Sing! Choirs workplace choir.

Our MD Kathryn has put together a video to accompany the podcast section that you can hear by clicking here
"Sing! At Home"
As we look forward to our "Sing! At Home" sessions starting in September, following our "Summer Sings" in August, it is always nice to look back and reflect on achievements during this very difficult time.
We have raised £6973.75 for charity, mainly Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, since we started singing online towards the end of March, and are continuing to raise funds too - you can support All In Sound and their dementia choir by clicking here.
We have also learnt so many new songs (and can't wait to hear them in "real life"!) as well as re-visited old songs;
We have welcomed new people into our virtual choir room, and look forward to meeting them in person in the future;
And we have looked out for each other - a hello and a wave each week, checking in, and lots of smiles too. #choir #community
If you would like to join us for a Sing! At Home please Contact Us and we would love to welcome you - there are no auditions, and you don't have to record yourself but everyone is welcome to if they wish to!
Take care, Stay safe.
"Virtual Elements" - All That Matters
"Virtual Elements" runs alongside our "Virtual Sings" and is for a smaller group, and more like a singing lesson whereby we can focus on individual questions and thoughts.
To celebrate the end of this block of sessions, on 16 August 2020 we released "All That Matters", the song that had been the focus of the fortnightly sessions since April.
You can listen to and watch the song by clicking here - we hope you enjoy it!
#LetTheChoirsSing Petition
On 5 July 2020 our MD Kathryn started a petition in a bid to raise awareness of the plight of singing in the current Covid-19 crisis. At the time of writing this, there have been over 12,500 signatures and it has been submitted to Government for review.
You can still sign, share and support by clicking here.
Please do sign so that we can look forward to a safe return to singing with strong guidance for Choir Leaders.
Sing! Choirs @ Work - WINGS
Our next Virtual Video, released on 22 June 2020, came from Sing! Choirs @ Work and their amazing rendition of "Wings".
As always every choir member has to record themselves at home, and send in their recordings and videos or photographs where it is all edited to make what you can see and hear now.
You can see the video by clicking here.
Walk'n'Sing - THANK YOU!
To thank all our supporters we did a video that we released on 7 June 2020, that said "Thank you" as well as announcing the amazing amount we raised which at that point stood at £4358.75!!

Starshine Virtual Walk'n'Sing!

A Calmer Place to Be
We have still been really busy during LockDown and on 23 April 2020 we released a charity single written by our MD Kathryn Rowland. The single was to raise funds for Arthur Rank Hospice Charity and All In Sound, and raised the amazing amount of £2,500.
