Manning Memorial Chapel

Manning Chapel Choir 2026-27 - The Season Formerly Known as Next Year

 

We’re welcoming new singers in every voice part (soprano, alto, tenor, bass). The Chapel Choir is a small (~20 members) and active group that sings for University Chapel services, plus signature concerts like Wassail!, a sell-out Christmas highlight, and our end-of-term concert. We start this term singing as part of a Deep Roots Music Festival show at the end of September. We sing a wide variety of styles — from ancient church music and traditional hymns to folk, world, gospel, and contemporary. Rehearsals are Thursdays 7–9pm, and about two Sundays a month the full choir sings at Chapel (6:15 – 8:30pm) — often followed by a trip to the pub. There are additional small group opportunities for singers and instrumentalists.

If you’ve sung in a choir before (even just in grade school) and can basically follow sheet music, you’ll do great. No religious background is required — just openness and respect. We’re a welcoming, affirming group where people bring different experiences and beliefs. The choir sings a lot of music, and there is an expectation of commitment, but never at the expense of a supportive and fun environment.
