Community choir to hold online choir practice amid coronavirus lockdown

Singwell Community Wellbeing Choir usually meets in five different locations across Worthing and Shoreham but has sadly had to close its doors for the time being.

Julia Daintree, choir leader, said: “Although we cannot replicate the rehearsals exactly, we are keen to keep the friendships and singing alive.

“New singers are very welcome of course. Singing is a fantastic way to keep spirits high and you will hopefully feel part of a friendly community very quickly.

“When isolation is over, we will aim to get together to perform what we have learned and to make friends face to face.”

The sessions will run via the Singwell Choir page on Facebook on Monday and Thursday, 10am to 10.30am.

Julia added: “We hope to bring some joy to people’s homes and to give existing members a small way to keep in touch.

“We may try occasional rehearsals via Zoom so that choir members can see each other, too.”

Singwell, which has been running since September, aims to create a safe and friendly place for singers of all abilities to produce music and have fun.
