Why Should I Join a BCS Choir?
Singing in a choir has been widely reported to promote happiness and well-being through social interaction and a sense of being part of a community. Research suggests music making improves breathing, posture and muscle tension and may even help sustain a healthy immune system by reducing the stress hormone cortisol.
Our choirs are open to all with a shared love of singing! Located at Mycenae House in South East London, BCS members are at the heart of our friendly, inclusive community and have made it the success it is today. New members have often commented on how welcoming our choirs are and appreciate the opportunity to join social catch-ups after rehearsals each week. We offer a free choir taster session at the start of each term. Please contact us for further information via email: info@blackheathcentreforsinging.com.
As well as regular performances each term, we hold social events – such as our popular quiz nights – and UK and international residential singing weekends and come and sing workshops.
We look forward to welcoming you to the BCS community and singing in our friendly choirs.
We're based at Mycenae House, South East London. Discover how to find us
