West End Singers is a four-part harmony choir based in Hedge End, Hampshire. We are a warm and welcoming community of singers of mainly modern music in harmony. We sing everything from Adele and David Bowie to Madonna and Frank Sinatra, throwing in the odd operatic and musical number here and there.
We are a not-for-profit group as we re-invest all funds back into the choir, with the sole exception of funds that we specifically raise for charity. We typically perform two main concerts a year, usually in June and December, as well as up to four other engagements, including fundraising events for charity, and the occasional flashmob. Our musical director Simon Irwin is a great conductor whose enthusiasm brings out the best in our performances.
We are open to people of all ages, genders and cultures. At West End Singers, we pride ourselves on our diversity. You don’t have to be the strongest singer to join us, but we recommend you try us out to see if we are right for you. We are very adaptable to different voices and can accommodate for sopranos, altos, tenors and basses. Also, you don’t have to sing from memory in our choir, so you are more than welcome to sing from sheet music if this is better for you. Our main priority is to make our members feel as comfortable and welcome as possible.
