About Alveston Singers

The Alveston Singers choir was founded in 1977 with the aim of having fun and raising money for charity each year.

Two concerts are held in early Summer, and two during the Christmas period. We usually sing carols outside a shop or supermarket at this time.

Every penny that is donated goes to our chosen charities, and we don’t keep any of it for choir funds.

Neither do we charge nor sell tickets for our concerts, but we do ask a representative of our charities to come to the concerts to tell the audience a little about their work. The audience can then contribute to the retiring collection if they so wish.

In 2011 we were singing in aid of Help for Heroes and Pancreatic Cancer Research, and raised the magnificent sum of £2,502,72 to be shared by these two charities. Our Christmas concerts included the lovely work Requiem for an Angel, and we were delighted to welcome Paul Carr who composed the work in 2005 to one of the concerts.

At present we have just over 50 members who currently pay a subscription of £25 per year, and most of the music we sing is borrowed from libraries.

There are no auditions, but singers who can read music are especially welcome. We enjoy singing a great variety of music from major classical works to lighter songs from musicals and folk songs.

We meet each Tuesday at 7.30pm in the Alveston Methodist Church, and welcome new members (particularly tenors and basses!).
