Bishop's Stortford Community Choir
Make new friends, find a new hobby & be part of a real community when you sing with our Bishop's Stortford choir. Help us raise £1 million for charity while singing your heart out! We have lots of unique events to raise money for charity where you can sing on stage, make viral videos, put a wig on, dress in costumes and have loads of fun. No audition needed!
"Everyone is really friendly the choirmaster is amazing and learning to sing brilliant songs - best bit will be fundraising for some excellent causes"
​
- Denise Lagdon
No previous musical experience needed
If you’ve never sung before or played any instruments, don’t worry! We can teach you how to sing with our professional, trained musicians. We’ll make sure you improve your singing while enjoying yourself every week.
We know it can be scary to sing in front of people so that’s why we’ll never make you sing on your own. You’ll always sing in groups, with friendly people supporting you.
Escape your day-to-day
With increasing loneliness and anxiety, you can find a safe space to be yourself & connect with others at our choir. Get support from like-minded people who genuinely care about you and find yourself again.
"Great collaboration of like-minded people who enjoy singing and it’s a place to have fun forget your troubles and share the joy of music - but in particular the choir host who is very talented and engaging and super funny!"

About the Bishop's Stortford choir group
The Bishop's Stortford Choir is just one year old! The choir has accomplished so much already! We've learned a variety of songs and raised a significant amount of money for charity. Not only that, but we've also formed new friendships and connections within our choir family. We're excited to welcome new members and continue making beautiful music together.
"I’d recommend everything... sharing our love of music with each other, making new friends and feeling part of something rather special. Raising money is always a great thing to do, too"

"I joined Buskerteers Choir for a confidence boost, to meet new people and to give myself something to do of an evening for 'me' time. Best decision I've made in a very long time."
