Recruitment

Rehearsals

New members are vital to an organisation like ours. Don't be put off if you have not sung in a choir before. Choral experience is not necessary, nor is the ability to speak Welsh or read music, as we employ learning techniques that cope with all levels of ability and experience. All that we ask is that you have a love of, and an ear for music. If you want to know more, please give our Membership Secretary Gareth Williams a call on 01978 846919 or e-mail him: rg.williams@tiscali.co.uk
or contact the Choir Secretary, Brin Jones, on 01270 882616.

Rehearsals are held on Mondays and Wednesdays at the historic Miners' Institute ('The Stiwt') in Rhos, beginning at 7.30 pm. Visitors are always welcome to come and see what goes into producing the sound we make. To arrange a visit, simply phone our Secretary on 01270 882616
