Choirs
Choirs
Singing with others is a brilliant way to make music, build confidence and meet new people – and you don’t need to play an instrument to get started.
Across Somerset and Dorset, there are choirs and singing groups for children and young people of different ages and experience levels. From first experiences of singing together to youth choirs and more advanced vocal ensembles, there are opportunities to develop your voice and enjoy making music as part of a group. Many choirs don’t require an audition or any previous experience, so you can simply come along and give it a try.
Explore the groups below to find a choir near you and discover your next opportunity to sing.
