Primrose Hill Choir

Love to sing? Join one of London's most sociable choirs! Before coming your 1st time email Matthew, subject heading PHC, at maestromattheww@yahoo.co.uk, and you will be sent pdfs of the music. Full details, including rehearsal dates, venue, payment and audio recordings, can be found at www.primrosehillchoirs.com.

We meet every Monday during term-time, 7.30-9.30pm, upstairs at the Primrose Hill Community Centre, 29 Hopkinsons Place, London NW1 8TN. About thirty people attend each week - all ages and abilities are welcome - and we sing a great variety of music in all styles (pop, classical, world and gospel). The musical director will teach you the songs (we also post rehearsal tracks on soundcloud so you can practise at home if you like) and explain the basics of reading music, and help you improve your singing technique. For more advanced singers there are regular solo opportunities. Afterwards join us for a well-deserved drink in a lovely Primrose Hill pub!

At the end of each term experience the excitement of performing in venues such as the Roundhouse, South Bank Centre, V&A museum and Camden market, often alongside up to three other choirs. PHC was formed in 2012 by the prize-winning conductor Matthew Watts, "the Gareth Malone of Primrose Hill" (Hampstead & Highgate Express).

For those with some experience who enjoy classical music (and perhaps want to sing a solo) we also run the London Classical Choir. And for any children who love to sing, there is the Primrose Hill Children’s Choir. We look forward to meeting you!

Matthew Watts, musical director, tenor, singing & piano teacher
