0HANDSWORTH CHOIR IS BACK
Great news, Handsworth Community Choir is back. As before, everyone is welcome.
You don’t need any prior singing experience, you don’t need to be able to read music, and you certainly don’t need to have the world’s greatest voice! There are no auditions. Everyone can sing: you just need enthusiasm – and to be willing to give it a go.
The choir is open all residents of the Handsworth area aged 18 or over.
Weekly rehearsals are on on Thursdays from 6.00pm – 7.30pm in the Red Hall at Rookery School.
Below are the planned times and venue (please note the different day and time).

They are also planning to support the Lantern Parade in Handsworth Park on 7th March so this is listed here with times to be confirmed.
