About

The Barnes Choir Open Rehearsal.

If you are a choral singer looking for a new choir to join, why not come and try us out at our Open Rehearsal on Tuesday January 6th at All Saints, East Sheen Avenue, East Sheen. SW14 8AX. Arrive at 7.30 for a 7.45 Start

We are a friendly mixed voice choir of some 70 Singers and, led by our dynamic Musical Director, Julian Collings, and accompanied by our skilled accompanist, Elspeth Wilkes, we will be having a "first run-through" of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana which we plan to sing at our Easter Concert on Saturday, March 21 2026 (along with Dove's Arion and the Dolphin). Scores can be provided.

Whilst it is helpful if you can read music, we provide all Members with access to rehearsal tracks for home practice and we offer optional musicianship classes on various subjects such as musical theory and sight singing. We do not hold formal auditions but our musical director, Julian Collings, will conduct a simple voice test to ensure you that you are placed in the correct Section.

All Saints is easy to find by car and there is free parking in the surrounding residential streets. It's a short walk from the Gilpin Avenue bus stop on the Upper Richmond Road (Buses 33, 337, 493), the nearest station is Mortlake. Bicycles can be brought into the church and left at the back.

You can email membership@barneschoir.org.uk for more information or to let us know you plan to come, or just turn up.
