The Kingswood Good Afternoon Choir rehearse every Wednesday afternoon at Kingswood Community Centre (Great Hall) from 2.00-4.00pm.
Grenville Jones, the founder of the Good Afternoon Choirs is delighted that Matt Finch is the leader of the Kingswood Good Afternoon Choir.
Matt runs 4 popular Good Afternoon Community Choirs every week and loves the fun of singing together and making amazing music during the afternoons. Matt lives in Bath where he is well-known as Musical Director of the Bath Light Operatic Group, you may well have attended one of their wonderful shows at the Bath Theatre Royal in years past. All Good Afternoon Choir members enjoy singing Matt's very special arrangements, especially at the Big Sings when all the Good Afternoon Choirs join together to sing in one venue.
A warm welcome awaits any new members, there are NO auditions and everyone is welcome! There is no charge for attending your first rehearsal. Come alone or with a friend – either way Matt and the Choir will be pleased to meet you. You will be joining over 1,000 people singing at Good Afternoon Choirs around the South West and beyond!
Membership forms are available to collect at every rehearsal. The choir rehearsals are in 4 terms of 10 weeks and members pay £63 per term – this covers room and piano hire, music, admin and musician fees. You do not need to join at the start of a term, you can simply come along to any rehearsal and pick up a membership form should you wish to join the choir – your fee will then be worked out for the remainder of that term.
If you have any questions about the Choir please contact Karin at Grenville's office in Westfield/Midsomer Norton via e-mail [email protected] or tel 01761 472468.
