Joyful Noise is a monthly “come and sing” choir open to all.
We sing a range of different hymns and faith based songs ranging from unison to 4-parts. We include very experienced singers and those with less experience and confidence. The music is taught in an accessible way for all. So far we have included Shaker songs, West Gallery hymns and music from the Iona & Taize communities as well as traditional, Temperance, West Gallery and contemporary hymns!
The meeting place is a lovely space in which to sing and the session ends with a chance to meet and chat over tea or coffee.
Sessions are on Sundays in the Unitarian Meeting Place, South Terrace, Hastings
2.30-4.00pm.
£2 to cover costs.
If you like to sing why not join us?

With the sad death earlier this year of our Patron, Sir Colin Davis, we are delighted that Lesley Garrett CBE has graciously agreed to become our Patron.
She sang the soprano parts of “Elijah” with Bexhill very early in her career, and for our 60th Birthday concert at the De La Warr Pavilion last year, sent a lovely letter, remembering this, and saying how important it is for young artists to gain experience in this way.
