Brighton Voices Community Choir is runs in association with All Saints Hove under the musical directorship of David Stevens. We are fully independent of the church, who are kind enough to support us and to provide us with practice space and a musical director.

The choir is non-audition and friendly. Our aim is to sing music we enjoy and to challenge ourselves by performing about two concerts a year We welcome new members for all parts.

Membership is currently £30 a term (£90 per year), but you can try us out a couple of times for free! If you decide to join, our Membership Form is here. You can fill it out online, or print it out and bring it to a rehearsal.

The Remembrance Concert was a great success, with a decent number of attendees. Our thanks to the professional musicians of the Vaughan Williams Sinfonia, who coped admirably with the somewhat chilly conditions! And many thanks too to all the choir members who braved the cold to give a great performance!

Now it's Christmas for the choir! Please remember to bring scores for Gabriel's Message and the Chilcot to rehearsals.

We have sold well over a hundred tickets already!

Tickets are available on Eventbrite.

Practice tracks and sung examples for some of the tracks are available in the Resources section of the Members area

Thanks for those who have returned their scores for the Remembrance concert. If you have opted not to keep the scores for a £5 contribution toward the purchase cost using the same payment methods as for subscriptions, please return the scores af the Christmas Concert in the box that will be provided behind the choir as at the Remembrance concert.

We will identify the choir member from the library number on the score.

We have almost finished checking the photos and videos from Fauré and the Remembrance concert. These will be available very soon in the Members' Flickr Gallery

Our repertoire is both secular and sacred mostly classical music, sung in four or more parts with a smattering of Victorian Part Songs. In the past we have worked on a number of pieces that are more challenging than those traditionally undertaken by community choirs and will continue to do so.

Have a look at our Performances section (see left) to get a better idea of our repertoire.

Brighton Voices Community Choir supports a number of charities. Under the directorship of David Stevens, we have supported:

Our Christmas social event in 2023, the Carol Crawl visited a number of pubs in the area around All Saints for

• Save The Children

We raised an amazing £272 on the night - a huge thank you to all who supported us and to those who came and performed!

We will also supported The RNLI at Brighton Marina and performed to patients in the Stroke Unit at the Sussex County Hospital in December 2023.
