Camerata welcomes new singers,
especially Sopranos, Tenors and Basses...

If you would like to sing with Kettering Camerata, please contact either Ann Burridge, (Choir Secretary) 01536 513955 or Jonathan Sheldon (Musical Director) 01536 350154.

We don't hold auditions, but most of us read music (a little at least!).

New singers are invited to come along to several rehearsals and make up their mind if this is the choir for them.  
Rehearsals are held in on Tuesdays in term time 7.30-9.30pm in St Andrews Church, Rockingham Road, Kettering (just opposite Sainsburys).

Choir members are expected to attend rehearsals regularly and give notice when they will be absent.  Membership fee is just £40 a term.

We give three main concerts a year, drawing on mainstream choral works in our Autumn and Spring progammes and a lighter approach in the Summer.  Occasionallly we have additional  informal commitments as a choir and members are usually given the option to attend or not.
