Yes.  Feel free to come along and sing with us or just sit and watch.  

Socialising is at the our core of what we do so expect pub nights, quizzes, apres rehearsal nibbles ... etc.  Make a suggestion!

We sing a variety of musical genres, from rock to pop, musicals and folk, and world music to modern choral pieces. Our choir is all about exploration, fun, and making beautiful music together.

Yourself! And any music you've been given at previous rehearsals - oh, and a pencil, and a sense of fun.

We focus on local events that benefit local charities, communities, and businesses - such as at Warden Hill Primary School's Christmas Fayre, John Lewis Christmas sing, Sue Ryder's Celebrate a Life (at St Matthews Church), Sue Ryder's Starlight Hike; and earlier this autumn the Suffolks Street Market and the Reddings Community Centre's event.

No, feel free to participate as much or as little in the choir rehearsals, socials, and performances.

The Curious Choir is available for booking for events and private functions such as for life events.  We love giving back to the wider community and have been invited to sing at events supporting wonderful causes.  Please feel free to get in touch if you have an event which requires a choir or a group of singers.  

A community choir is a welcoming inclusive environment to come, sing and meet people - regardless of previous experience, musical ability and age.  'Community choirs' in the Cheltenham area typically fall into two categories:

• locally run
  • rehearse and perform in and around Cheltenham 
  • often raising money and awareness for local causes
• centrally run
  • part of a large network of choirs often franchised at the local level
  • tend to focus performances on glitzy massed concerts

It may be surprising that our FAQs contain 'Other community choirs around Cheltenham'.  At the Curious Choir, we're proud of our achievements in the short time we've been in existence. Both our Monday afternoon and Thursday evening rehearsals are gently growing and we've performed in numerous diverse local settings (see our news).  That being said, Cheltenham is crowded when it comes to choirs, particularly as the large nationwide choir networks with deep marketing pockets squeeze out the little local choirs. We strive to champion the little choirs - not just for our own self interest, but for the love all things local and community.  On that basis, here's a list of non-network community choirs around Cheltenham:

• Cheltenham Singers
• Cheltenham Children's Choir
• Cheltenham Youth Choir
• Churchdown Community Singers
• Mid Life Choirsis
• Word of Mouth
• Take Note
• Musicality
