Colliers Wood Chorus is a 75-strong community choir which sings all types of music from classical and world to pop. Our rehearsals are lively social occasions and our performances range from sing-songs in the pub to appearances in front of several hundred at the South Bank Centre.
The choir is open to all ages and abilities, with no requirement to be able to read music. Enthusiasm and commitment are the qualifications you need. As the choir is very popular, we usually have a waiting list for all voice groups, and give priority to residents from the Colliers Wood ward (map in this document), as we maintain strong links with the local community.

News - keep up to date by subscribing to the RSS feed here: 18th July: Programme for next week. AGM will be held at the end of tomorrow's rehearsal. 21st June: Message From Sir. Hello all you lovely choristers. Just a quick note to say how much I am going to miss rehearsing with you all for the next few weeks. Rest assured I leave you in the very capable hands of Mistress Music (Antonia) and Dame Diva (Elaine) so I expect you'll be even better now! I know you'll all be helpful and attentive and supportive. Sorry to bail out on you so unexpectedly but my Opera rehearsal schedule changed at short notice - hi ho the glamorous life! I hope you can come to the extra rehearsal slots at 94 Cavendish Road I have scheduled for voice groups:
Try to be exactly on time as I have to be at the theatre for a performance those evenings and will not be able to overrun. Here is a list of the repertoire (in no particular order) you have to get your heads around for the 24th of July, which is not that far away now:
Lots of love, Christopher 15th June: New versions of Arhyd, Belle, Lloyd and Tsmee on practice page. 12th June: Pedal Power page added. 6th June: Meet at 1345 for the Wandle Valley Festival; only dress code is T-shirts. 2nd June: Sound Sculpture pictures. 30th May: Shimmy Sing pictures. 30th May: More details about the Summer Concert. 20th May: More practice tracks. 12th May: More details about the Shimmy Sing. 6th May: As the Tube will not be running, we will be getting the 11:55 train from Wimbledon to Waterloo (arriving 12:18) on Sunday. See you on the platform. And don't forget the Saturday rehearsal at 11:00 at the Guardian Centre. 3rd May: No rehearsal tonight, but some of us will be socialising at Venus (near the Tube station). There is a rehearsal for the South Bank on Saturday at 11am at the Guardian Centre - all going there will need to attend this. 27th April: About 25 members of the choir paid their respects at the funeral of Maureen Hellewell, a member of the choir from the very beginning. 19th April: The new website is live - finally!
