Hastings Vocal Explosion

We are a smallish choir who love singing music from around the world, from the Balkans to South Africa.

We work diligently to create a quality sound – learning structured pieces.

We learn by ear, not by score – with some parts being available in MP3 form.

We ask that singers have a wee bit of experience and can hold a note and a harmony – and are happy to take musical direction.

We take great delight in producing a beautiful final rendition of songs we have really honed! 

We make occasional guest appearances at some great events and also put on informal performances  where friends and family, and sometimes other choirs,  join us to feast and hear our music.

Here is one of our recent performances…

Drawing influences from around the globe and across the centuries,
 Vocal Explosion is an extraordinary sonic experience

– BBC

We invite interested singers to a free initial session for you to see how you enjoy it, and for us to see if there is a good blend….

If it goes well for both parties, we then sometimes suggest a second free session, for us all to be sure.

REHEARSAL INFO

Thursday nights 7.30-9.00 pm. 
COST: £12 per session – to be paid as a whole at the beginning of term.
