Fortismere Community Choir started in 2009 and is based in Muswell Hill, north London. It is an ambitious choir which comprises singers from a wide range of musical backgrounds. We do not have formal auditions - the only requirements are a love of music and singing and the ability to hold a tune!

​

Over the past 12 years, the choir has performed major works such as the Requiem Masses by Mozart, Duruflé and Fauré, Haydn's epic oratorio The Seasons, Beethoven's Missa Solemnis and Bach's Magnificat.

​

If you are interested in joining us, you are welcome to attend one or two rehearsals without obligation. Termly subscription fees for members are £75 per adult, or £50 for students. Reduced subs are available for those on lower incomes.

​

Rehearsals are weekly, at Fortismere School in the Music Concert Hall in North Wing, on Wednesday evenings from 7 pm to 9 pm during school terms. Access is through South Wing (off Tetherdown). There is a break for tea/coffee halfway through the rehearsal.

 

The choir is part of the wider Fortismere Music Centre and benefits from all the resources that the Centre provides. It has close links with the school's Music Department and aims to contribute to school concerts and events as well as hold its own. Every December there is a Christmas carol concert where the choir performs together with the student choirs of Fortismere School and in the summer the choir will take part in the school's Summer festival.​​​

​

If you are interested in joining, please email fmcinfo@fortismere.org.uk to arrange to attend a rehearsal on a trial basis.

​

Rehearsals begin in the Summer Term on Wednesday, 23rd April at 7 pm.  We will be singing two medleys of songs from La La Land, and Les Miserables, culminating in a performance at Fortismere's summer festival on Sunday 6th July. New members are welcome to join us!
