Twickenham Community Choir shares why you should take advantage of its FREE trial session!

Do you want to connect with your local community and make new friends? Do you want to sing delightful music?

Do you want to feel the tremendous health benefits of singing in a choir? Why not join a local and vibrant group in the heart of Twickenham, TW2?

At Twickenham Community Choir, we value community, collaboration, support, and of course, fun! The choir is an excellent opportunity to make new friends in your local area. We rehearse weekly and always have a social at the end of each half-term.

We welcome all voices, all ages, and all backgrounds.

We sing a wide range of music from Schubert to Sondheim so there is something for everyone. There are no auditions and you do not need to read music, just bring a love and enthusiasm for singing! 

Choir members attest to the fun and friendly atmosphere in the choir, as well as the choir's fabulous music choices. One member, Maria, says that "At the end of each session, I have felt uplifted and more confident in my singing". Another choir enthusiast, Paul, writes that he has loved "finding [his] voice and enjoyed how I am encouraged and coached every week!"

The choir is run by singer Helen Astrid. Helen values the importance of singing together for its many physical and mental health benefits: "When you sing you use more of your lung capacity than normal, which oxygenates the blood and helps circulation.

Singing works the respiratory muscles and helps asthmatics breathe more easily. It's a good way to get some gentle aerobic exercise; it also improves your posture and straightens your back and shoulders. If you sing regularly, it'll keep you young!".

Helen was a recent guest on BBC Radio Berkshire/Oxford's "ASK THE EXPERTS" programme and BBC World News where she talks about the joys of singing in choirs.

If you are interested, we run a FREE trial session for new members and begin again on 11 September. You can contact [email protected].
