Chelmsford Male Voice Choir is a men’s choir, currently numbering 50, who meet to rehearse each Tuesday evening. The ability to sing in tune, a willingness to rehearse and be regular in attendance are the desired requirements of joining. Previous choir experience and the ability to read music are assets but are not essential.
A bit about us:
Variety is the hallmark of our concert performances and we have a wide repertoire.We enjoy singing the traditional ‘male voice choir’ pieces along with other choral works, arrangements of ‘pop’ classics and songs from the shows.
We are always aiming to learn something new which includes singing pieces in a range of languages.
Rehearsals take place each Tuesday evening from 7.30pm—9.30pm at Trinity Methodist Church, 46 Rainsford Road, Chelmsford CM1 2XB.
We perform at a range of venues including the Church where we rehearse, other churches in the area, such as Danbury Church and we have performed at both King Edwards VI Grammar School and the County High School for Girls, Chelmsford. We also enjoy performing in the Chelmsford Cathedral Lunchtime Concerts bi annually.
Some history:
The origins of Chelmsford Male Voice Choir (CMVC) can be traced back to the Boer War when the choir first sang to raise funds for British troops. The choir currently has over 50 members who are proud to wear the crest of the City of Chelmsford.
In 2015 the Choir became a registered charity, the aims of which are to promote, improve, develop and maintain public education in the appreciation of the art and science of choral music in all its aspects. These aims are achieved primarily by performing concerts and raising worthwhile funds for good causes.
