Brighton Voices Community Choir is runs in association with All Saints Hove under the musical directorship of David Stevens. We are fully independent of the church, who are kind enough to support us and to provide us with practice space and a musical director.

The choir is non-audition and friendly. Our aim is to sing music we enjoy and to challenge ourselves by performing about two concerts a year We welcome new members for all parts.

Membership is currently £30 a term (£90 per year), but you can try us out a couple of times for free! If you decide to join, our Membership Form is here. You can fill it out online, or print it out and bring it to a rehearsal.

These pages are intended for members of Brighton Voices Community Choir only.

Most are password protected and only available to members.

Time to start launching into rehearsals for the Mozart Requiem. We have lots of interest in this already!

Christmas by Candlelight Concert at All Saints
Well done to everyone! Wasn't it great to see the church packed and what a fun evening. David was really pleased! (Just a gentle reminder, if you don't want to keep the scores from last term and haven't yet returned them please do so, so we can add them to our library stocks).

We also had a great night Carol Singing in the local pubs - the final total raised for Martlets won't be known till next week, but hopefully it will be well over £300.

Note: this uses the Confirmation of Payee validation system, so should validate OK if the details are correct!

Will cost £6 (please pay alongside your subs), BUT after the final concert they can be returned for a £5 refund. All we ask is you only use pencil markings and they are in good condition. (Also applies if you no longer need it before then).

New members get a numbered score to borrow for each initial rehearsal (returning it each evening) until you decide to join and pay.

Will become available in the Resources section of the Members area in due course.

We have almost finished checking the photos and videos from Fauré and the Remembrance concert. These will be available very soon in the Members' Flickr Gallery

Our repertoire is both secular and sacred mostly classical music, sung in four or more parts with a smattering of Victorian Part Songs. In the past we have worked on a number of pieces that are more challenging than those traditionally undertaken by community choirs and will continue to do so.

Have a look at our Performances section (see left) to get a better idea of our repertoire.

Brighton Voices Community Choir supports a number of charities. Under the directorship of David Stevens, we have supported:

Our Christmas social event in 2023, the Carol Crawl visited a number of pubs in the area around All Saints for

We raised an amazing £272 on the night - a huge thank you to all who supported us and to those who came and performed!

We will also supported The RNLI at Brighton Marina and performed to patients in the Stroke Unit at the Sussex County Hospital in December 2023.

We are currently using FaceBook as our only social media channel. This is run by Pennie, acting as a co-opted member of the committee working under the responsibility of Jul.
