Joining Sterndale Singers
We are a group of around 26 people who enjoy singing under the stretching but good-humoured direction of Robert Webb, our Musical Director.  We rehearse on a regular basis and perform 3-4 concerts per year in and around Sheffield. An idea of the types of repertoire we sing can be found on the Past Performances page.

If you are interested in joining us, you will be able to sing with the choir for two or three rehearsals so both you and we can get a feel for whether you wish to pursue membership further. If you do wish to join us there will be a short informal audition by the Musical Director. He will be looking for a reasonable singing voice that is able to blend with other choir members and to establish that you have some sight-reading ability.

We expect singing members to be able to attend rehearsals regularly in order to rehearse and consolidate learning of new repertoire. If a member misses too many rehearsals in preparation for a concert, participation in the concert will be at the discretion of the Musical Director.

If you are someone who would relish delivering quality choral singing to audiences and would like to join a group of people who enjoy making music together, then please do contact our Registrar via our Contact Us Form.


Rehearsals
We rehearse weekly on a Monday night at Holy Trinity Millhouses Church Hall, Grove Road, Sheffield S7 2GY.

Rehearsals are 7.30pm to 9.30pm with a short break mid-way for a chat and catch up with each other. Choir members should arrive promptly so we are ready to sing from 7.30pm.

We rehearse from September to early July, except during Christmas, Easter and the Spring Bank half-term break.

See our Visit a Rehearsal page for further information about our rehearsal venue.
