Do you sing bass?
Right now we are recruiting basses, particularly second basses, although vacancies in all voice parts do arise from time to time.

ABOUT THE CHOIR
We are a choir of about 35 voices based in Epsom, Surrey where we give at least six major concerts each year, mostly in St Martin’s Church.
We sing music by composers as different as ‘Fats’ Waller and Arvo Pärt and pieces that have just been written as well as the classics.
Each year at Christmas we help the National Trust to raise funds at Clandon Park and from time to time we sing Evensong in cathedrals such as St Paul’s, Winchester, Southwark, Ely and, most recently, St Alban’s in May 2009.
We also tour abroad. In May 2010 we visited Brussels where we sang in the Cathedral of Saint Michael and Saint Gudula and the Church of Notre Dame of Laken.
The choir has won Enterprise Awards on three occasions from the Performing Right Society. Epsom Chamber Choir, which was formed in 1969, is a Registered Charity number 1026721 and is affiliated to Making Music.
