Euphonix is a community choir with a difference in Kingston, open to any adult of any age who would like to sing contemporary and popular songs, folk and world music. You don't need to read music or audition or pay lots of money in advance to join us. We are a not-for-profit community group, managed by volunteers and led by professional musician Dominic Stichbury, established to offer an inclusive, affordable experience of the benefits of singing regularly with others: companionship, developing musicality and pure enjoyment...
We run two rehearsal groups: Euphonix 1 usually rehearses upstairs in the Rose Theatre on Wednesday mornings, 10.15 - 11.45am; and Euphonix 2 usually rehearses upstairs in the Rose Theatre on Wednesdays from 12.00 - 1.30pm. We try to meet most weeks of the year and occasionally to rehearse both groups together. Exceptions to our normal schedule, e g, changes of venue, time or the occasional short break or special event, feature in the Euphonix Calendar.
We currently have quite a long a waiting list and prefer to welcome new members at the start of each Euphonix term (September, January and April/May) - please contact us to check availability of places, times, and term dates before coming to a rehearsal.
We are very grateful for a small grant from the Royal Borough of Kingston, awarded to Euphonix in April 2009 to help establish the choir securely and recruit members from hard-to-reach groups. More information about our programme, and our aims and philosophy, as well as how to contact us, can be found on the pages listed in the menu to the left. The FAQs section may answer any queries you have.
"It's very uplifting to sing, and good to meet new people." (Euphonix member, April 2009. See what other members say they get out of singing with Euphonix here.)
