About us

Vivace is a small choir of around 40 members. Our concerts include traditional choral works, contemporary music, items from operas and operettas, and excerpts from popular stage musicals.

Our musical director is John Andrews and accompanist and founder, Kate Elmitt.

Concerts

We give roughly one concert a term: our last concert, of 19th century romantic music, was on 10th July 2010, in the Hitchin Festival; and our next concert – English Song – will be in Arlesey on 27th November 2010.

Weddings

Vivace is available for hire for weddings, carol singing, or any other event where our harmonies would help! Email us for availability and rates.

Website

The website was originally designed by Garry Neesam; the current webmaster is Helen Bradley.

Membership

We are looking for new singers and welcome people of all levels of singing experience. If you're thinking of joining Vivace, we would love to welcome you to a rehearsal. Do come and try us for a couple of weeks and see what you think.

The best time to join is just after a concert – especially if you don't sight-read music well – as we'll be starting new pieces that no-one has learnt yet.

Rehearsals

Rehearsals are on Wednesdays 7.30 – 9.30pm during term-time, at Edgeworth House (see left). If you're planning to come along, check our local term dates.

Fees

The subscription is currently £40 per term, which can be paid in two instalments. There is also a nominal charge of £1 per score for the music we hire from the public library.

Concert Dress

Black shirts/tops and black trousers/skirts for all - along with the gold floral buttonhole.
If you're new, don't panic - we have a stock of buttonholes!
