About Southend Choirs
Southend Choirs is a registered charity which brings high-quality vocal training and performance opportunities to children and young people from the age of 3 to 30. The two flagship choirs, Southend Boys’ and Girls’ Choirs, have been in existence for over 80 years with thousands of children and young people having performed in the Choirs. Many former choir members have developed successful careers within the music industry. The range of performance opportunities is extensive, with the choirs providing backing vocals and flash mobs to full scale professional concerts. The opportunity to take part in overseas tours is offered on an annual basis. Singing in a group has numerous benefits, including mental and physical health, self-confidence, learning and social development. It is one of the most engaging forms of self-expression which allows individuals to explore emotions, build self-esteem and develop relationships. From the youngest groups (Little Singers and Step Up) to the oldest (Young Men’s Chorus and Chorus Sirenum), there is a clear transitional pathway for young people to develop their vocal skills, and interest in music, outside of the school environment. We make no charge to our members, there is no joining fee or membership fee, and no weekly rehearsal fees. We never want this to change, and that is why we would welcome your support.
