Welcome to The Walcot State Choir!

We are a friendly bunch who meet together to sing,to sound good and to feel good. You don’t need to read music as we learn mostly by ear. You will never have to sing alone (unless you want to) and you won’t have to take an audition. In the choir we have all ages from teenagers to pensioners, and we sing songs from different countries and cultures in many different languages.

Who leads the choir?

Su Hart, a professional singer who has been leading since the beginning. However, all decisions are made by a committee of members and everyone is welcome to add their input about what goes on in the choir.

What sort of songs do you sing?

Ancient to modern, African to Hebridean, Balkan to British and anything between including pieces specially commissioned for us.
While we meet in a church, we are not a religious choir.

A Bit of History about the Choir

The choir was formed in April 2000 when the London Road Partnership in Bath provided a grant to fund a local choir as part of its millennium celebrations. The plan was for Su Hart to lead a community choir, open to anyone and everyone regardless of ability or experience, for 6 weeks, and then to perform at the London Road Carnival in July of that year.

This whole experience was such fun that the 40 or so people who took part wanted the choir to continue even after performing at London Road Carnival, and so The Walcot State Choir was formed.

[/fusion_text][fusion_separator style_type=”none” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” top_margin=”20px” bottom_margin=”10px” border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_title hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” content_align=”center” size=”2″ font_size=”” line_height=”” letter_spacing=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” text_color=”” style_type=”none” sep_color=””]

Here are some of the things we’ve done since then:

We sing at the opening of Bath Fringe Festival each year
We commissioned Kirsty Martin to write a song cycle for us, which we performed at the Rondo Theatre in April 2004.
We raised some of the money to pay for this through a sponsored triathlon
We’ve held several fund-raising concerts in Bath’s Rondo Theatre and Walcot Village Hall
We’ve raised money for Amensty, WaterAid, Global Music Exchange (supporting the Baka people of Cameroon), Bath Community Playbus, Kara (an AIDS support organisation in Zambia), Dorothy House (a local hospice), the education of a girl in Uzbekistan, and ActionAid
We have hosted a french and hungary choirs here in Bath and travelled both countries as part of a musical exchange (see Choir Exchange)
