Hampton Hill Community Choir (HHCC) is just what it says on the tin!
- We sing in Hampton Hill.
- We are a community that is also a choir. (And if you're a solitary type, you are also welcome.)
- We have no auditions.
- We are open to all.
Now that we have a reasonably sized Baritone section, we often sing in three parts, otherwise unison. In July, each of the three parts sang a unison song on their own. The music ranges from medieval to modern and from serious to silly. Since January 2023, we have had the privilege of having a pianist (Susan Humphris) accompany us at every rehearsal, with Fiz Markham as our Musical Director.
July 2024
Our concert earlier this month was a knock-out success, enjoyed by singers and audience. The following week, we had a great end of year party.
We are now on our summer break.
The choir has agreed to sing at The Star PH on 7th September for the Hampton Association. Rehearsals start on 12th September. We will then work towards a Christmas concert on Thursday 5th December.
If you are interested in joining us, please contact Fiz Markham beforehand as we have limited space for new recruits.
Our termly fees are quite modest being between £70 and £80 depending on term length. (We do not offer a per session option.) For new people, the first session is not charged.
A normal rehearsal
People arrive from 730ish for a 740 start. We rehearse until about 830 when we have a break to drink tea/coffee and scoff lovely CAKE provided by a singer who loves to bake. We resume after 20 minutes - normally requiring quite a bit of nagging as folk love to chat - and finish at 930.
Thinking you can't sing is no excuse. Warm-ups pay attention to singing healthily and well. Soon you'll realise you CAN sing! AND singing releases endorphins - something we can all benefit from.
