Cranbrook Choral Society was formed over 60 years ago and currently has around 90 members of mixed voices (SATB).  We are known for performing many of the great choral works and these form the foundation of our two main annual concerts in the Autumn and the Spring often accompanied by the Cranbrook Sinfonia.  We also perform a Christmas concert which has for the last few years been in conjunction with the Cranbrook Town band and a programme of lighter work is performed in June, often incorporating a junior choir from local primary schools.

Our Spring session is well underway under the direction of our new Director of Music, Francesca Massey.  We are pleased to welcome new singers throughout the year from all voice ranges (SATB).  We are a non auditioning choir.

We are a friendly group so if you are interested, please come along to the Vestry Hall, Cranbrook on a Tuesday at 7.25 and just introduce yourself to anyone and they will point you in the right direction. 

Whether you have sung in a choir all your life or never before, why not come along to a rehearsal or two to get the feel of the evening? If you would like to join you can pay your subs after a couple of weeks. You don’t need to be able to read music, although this helps,  as there are many audible aids such as ‘choral-line’ to help you learn big pieces, follow the music and learn your part.

All you need is a singing voice, enthusiasm and a smile! If you sing along to music at home or in the car and it gives you a BUZZ, then why not try being part of a ‘big noise’ and see how great that makes you feel.   It has been shown in many studies that singing, particularly choral singing has an overall beneficial effect on your well being. So…come and try it for yourself. You will leave feeling upbeat and energised!
