MUNDESLEY COMMUNITY CHOIR
SATB MIXED VOICE CHOIR BASED IN NORTH NORFOLK

ABOUT US

Founded in 1982, The Mundesley Singers began as an female choir, bringing together voices to bring music to the village. In 2003, we embraced the addition of male voices, expanding our sound and forming what is now known as The Mundesley Community Choir. Today, we are a mixed-voice choir of over 40 members, that includes sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses. Our diverse repertoire spans classical, church music, popular songs, musical theatre, folk and jazz.

We regularly perform at community events and hold concerts throughout the year.

We invite you to join us on Monday evenings from 7:30-9:30 PM in Mundesley Village - our annual membership fee is £40 per term, which includes the loan of sheet music. Whilst we do use sheet music to learn our pieces, it is not necessary to be able to read music to be able to join the choir, just a willingness to learn and develop your music reading skills.

We are committed to supporting all singers, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and confident while participating.

If you’d like to give us a try, feel free to join us at one of our rehearsals! We’d be delighted to welcome you to the choir.
