What to expect
The choir meets every Friday at 2.30 pm in the Michaelhouse Chapel on Trinity Street in the centre of Cambridge. They sing songs in a wide range of styles, including classical pieces, folk songs and jazz. The friendly group leader, Alison, will support you feel relaxed and sing with the group, even if you have never tried anything like this before. The session lasts an hour and choir members often stay and enjoy a cup of tea afterwards.
Wear something comfortable and easy to move in, as singing is a whole body experience. Bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated.
