About Ardingly Choral Society

The Choir meets on Thursdays during school term times from 7.30-9.00pm in the Recital Room of the Music School at Ardingly College. Separate “sectional” rehearsals for the soprano, alto, tenor and bass sections take place during Thursday evenings but other separate sectional rehearsals may also be arranged on Monday evenings, for example, for half an hour per part.

Periodically the conductor, Mr Robert Hammersley, will invite those wishing to do so to participate in a voice profiling session where he will assist individuals to recognise their strengths and weaknesses and to target areas for improvement. Because Ardingly Choral Society does not hold auditions this voice profiling initiative has been introduced in order that the quality of the choir can be maintained and improved and so that individual members can be encouraged to make the most of their voices.
