“Evergreen Chorus is a friendly and inclusive choir. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never sung in a choir before and can’t read music, or if you are a concert pianist with lots of technical experience; everyone is made to feel welcome. The range of music we sing is wide, from pop and rock, to stage musicals, and classical pieces. There is something for everyone. Katie enjoys challenging us with new material and we are improving all the time. Our concerts are popular and fun – thoroughly recommended!”

“I look forward to choir practice every week. No matter how tired I am, singing with Katie and all the lovely choir members always lifts me up.”

”I have sung in a number of choirs over the years, including formal auditioned choirs. What I love about Evergreen Chorus is that everyone is welcome, at all levels of ability, and we all enjoy working on pieces together. I can use my own musical ability to help my fellow choir members, and also feel I can enjoy the music and varied repertoire without any pressure. It is part of my self care, and I just love singing!”

”Come and join us! If you enjoy singing, definitely come and give it a try. Katie teaches the songs section by section and creates practice videos for those that want to use them, so while it’s helpful to read music, it’s not essential. The choir is a wonderful group of supportive people of very different abilities and backgrounds. Everyone encourages each other, and you will feel brilliant after singing each week – it’s great for the soul and lots of fun!”

”I’ve found it such a wonderful experience being a part of this choir. Not only because of the varied repertoire that we have been expertly taught, but also because of the valuable friendships within the group.”

”Katie is an excellent, dedicated, professional choral conductor yet she remains very people-focused and is always approachable. I can read music but hadn’t sung in a choir for a long time. With Katie’s encouraging tuition and enthusiastic coaching, I feel I have made significant progress. Consequently, this has become a very enjoyable and rewarding, yet challenging, commitment that I would not wish to give up. The practice videos are useful, and add to the information gained in rehearsals. Katie is very gentle with us, but her flexible, tolerant, and sometimes humorous attitude makes for a relaxing and enjoyable time practicing our songs.”

”Our choir practices add a whole layer of sparkle into my life. ✨It is so uplifting, fun (we laugh a lot too!) and I love that it isn’t too much pressure. I actually feel my voice is put to good use by Katie – along with the rest of the group. All put together, it makes lovely layers of harmony in a fabulous and diverse selection of songs! I have made fab new friends as well as seriously addressing my work/home/life balance by doing something I really enjoy and have meant to do for years!”

”I started choir in Sept 2024 as I wanted to try something new and have always loved singing. Since the first practice I have loved every minute. Everyone is so welcoming, the music and instruction are great. I don’t read music, so thought I would struggle, but Katie makes it so that you don’t need to and is therefore accessible to everyone. I would recommend this choir to anyone looking to sing.”

“Coming into a very established choir can be daunting, but everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Katie is so thorough with explaining the parts bit by bit when learning new repertoire, that it is so easy to pick up whether you are an established music reader or a newbie just starting out!”
