FAQs

No! There is no expectation that singers read music. In fact, no experience is necessary.

Yes.  Feel free to come along and sing with us or just sit and watch.  

Socialising is at the our core of what we do so expect pub nights, quizzes, apres rehearsal nibbles ... etc.  Make a suggestion!

We sing a variety of musical genres, from rock to pop, musicals and folk, and world music to modern choral pieces. Our choir is all about exploration, fun, and making beautiful music together.

Yourself! And any music you've been given at previous rehearsals - oh, and a pencil, and a sense of fun.

We focus on local events that benefit local charities, communities, and businesses - such as at Warden Hill Primary School's Christmas Fayre, John Lewis Christmas sing, Sue Ryder's Celebrate a Life (at St Matthews Church), Sue Ryder's Starlight Hike; and earlier this autumn the Suffolks Street Market and the Reddings Community Centre's event.

No, feel free to participate as much or as little in the choir rehearsals, socials, and performances.

The Curious Choir is available for booking for events and private functions such as for life events.  We love giving back to the wider community and have been invited to sing at events supporting wonderful causes.  Please feel free to get in touch if you have an event which requires a choir or some singers.
