“You have shown us the joy of singing, and taught us to listen and appreciate the different and beautiful sounds we can make. The whole experience is truly uplifting.”

“Every week is inspiring and joyful”

 

 

Songways choirs meet weekly in BATH and TROWBRIDGE during term time: rewarding and absorbing singing sessions filled with rich harmonies, infectious fun, and calm beauty. No auditions and no need to read music.

Several times a year, the three choirs come together for joint Big Sing sessions in special places, such as Bath Abbey and Bath’s St Alpheges Church. In the Summer Term, the individual choirs also have the chance to sing in some of  the finest smaller chapels and churches in the area.  These experiences are particularly rewarding, singing together in wonderful acoustics for the sheer joy of it.
