Membership is £48.40 per annum (family discounts apply) and weekly rehearsals take place after school on Tuesdays, 4pm-5pm.

Repertoire is varied and challenging and from many different styles and genres; from well-known baroque and classical masterpieces right through to popular music from the stage and screen.
