THE HEATH SINGERS WELCOMES YOU

Sing Together, Stay Together

The HEATH SINGERS is a choir for ladies' voices, directed and accompanied by Paul and Jan Churchouse.  We are based in Flackwell Heath, near High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and are well known within the locality. We sing music in parts, our repertoire is varied and we regularly perform concerts, the proceeds of which are donated to a variety of charities.

MORE ABOUT THE HEATH SINGERS

REHEARSALS

Singing is good for you, it's official!

Rehearsals take place

On: Thursday evenings, 7.30-9.30, term-time only.  

Currently At: Christ Church Hall, Chapel Rd, Flackwell Heath.

Music will be provided.

THE HEATH SINGERS CHOIR was founded over 50 years ago by Peggy Woolhouse (who sadly died in December 2021), and throughout that time has performed publicly on numerous occasions.  Christmas and summer concerts (in which we frequently offer young musicians an opportunity to perform in a supportive environment), are regular fixtures. We also share concerts with other ensembles including brass bands and male voice choirs on occasions,  and we sometimes invite visiting voice experts to work with us and enrich the choir experience. 

 

Most of our concert profits go to local charities, including Wycombe Hospital Scannappeal, Rennie Grove Hospice Care, Air Ambulance, and other organisations of importance to our  members.  To date we have raised and donated well over £50,000, and in 2015 alone we raised £2,100.  We are a sociable group and enjoy gatherings and outings, as well as attending workshops arranged by professional musicians.  Above all we support one another through good and not-so-good times.

 

We are always looking for new members and would welcome ladies of all ages who would like to sing soprano or alto in a friendly female choir. Our varied repertoire includes music sung in two to four parts; for which reason the ability to read music to some extent is an advantage, (though not obligatory). 

Generally the emphasis is very much on enjoyment of singing whilst performing to a high standard.  We rehearse weekly during term time and regularly perform a wide repertoire of music.   The choir is proud to have raised a considerable amount for charity over the years.

CHRISTMAS 22
The Heath Singers were delighted to welcome enthusiastic audiences to both evenings of our December concerts.  The programme of Christmas music ranged from traditional carols in old and new settings, lighthearted songs with audience participation to items from Handel's Messiah.  Soloists,  Sharon Kirby, Anna and Matt Churchouse excelled themselves, and Father Christmas dropped in to add to the festivities.  A total of £700 was donated to local charities. Our post-Christmas dinner, catered by Richard Chalmers and his team was enjoyed by all.

We welcome newcomers who love singing and, ideally, have some knowledge of part singing and reading notation (although this is not obligatory). Whilst there is no formal audition,  there will be a brief voice test to establish your vocal range and abilities.
