How do new singers join the choir?

First contact Emily Soppet, our recruitment secretary, by email: newmembers@cefc.org.uk.

By arrangement with Emily, you’ll be able to come to one or two (maximum) of our Friday rehearsals to see if you think the choir is the right one for you. If you decide you would like to join the choir you should complete an application form as soon as possible and send it to Emily, or give it to her at one of your trial rehearsals. 

You will be invited to take a voice test either on a Friday evening before the rehearsal or, if we have several applicants at once, on a different evening in Muswell Hill. There’s more about the voice test below, and full details will be given to you when you apply to join.  

There is often a waiting list for voice tests, particularly in the soprano and alto sections. However, we will make every effort to hear new singers as soon as we can.
