Sing with us

There may be a seat for you

Northsong is a community choir, and every voice in it came from the community. If you love to sing in harmony, tell us a little about yourself and we will be in touch before the next season begins.

A singer’s year

Two seasons, each with its concert

  1. Fall

    Rehearsing for Christmas

    Weekly rehearsals through the fall, building to two Christmas concerts on the first weekend of December.

  2. January

    A new season

    After the holidays we start again with new music, in the church around the piano. It is a good time to join.

  3. May

    The spring concerts

    Two performances in mid-May, then a summer off.

The four parts

Where you might sing

Not sure which part is yours? That is fine. Many people find out at their first rehearsal.

  • SopranoThe highest part, usually carrying the melody.
  • AltoThe lower treble voices, the harmony under the sopranos.
  • TenorThe higher men’s voices, and some lower women’s voices too.
  • BassThe foundation, from baritone down.

Get in touch

Tell us about your voice

Your note goes to the choir, and someone will write back with what happens next: when rehearsals start, and what to bring.

Which part do you sing?

Choirs you have sung with, whether you read music, anything you would like us to know. A few lines is plenty.
