Welcome to FORTISMERE PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE
Fortismere MUSIC Centre
Join in with Choir
Fortismere Community Choir is the school's choir for parents, extended family and the surrounding community in Muswell Hill, north London. We do not have formal auditions - the only requirements are a love of music and singing and the ability to hold a tune!
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 and the student choirs. It aims to contribute to school concerts and events as well as stage its own. The next concert will be on Sunday, 7th December at St Andrew's Church, Muswell Hill - a joyous celebration of Christmas music where the community choir performs together with the student choirs of Fortismere School.
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.
If you are interested in joining, please email fmcinfo@fortismere.org.uk to arrange to attend a rehearsal on a trial basis.
