VACANCIES for singers

We're looking for for two tenors and one bass to join the choir. If you are an experienced singer and are interested in joining us, please get in touch by email using the address below. Entry is by audition, usually following one of our regular rehearsals on a Wednesday evening.

About the choir...

The Esterházy Chamber Choir was founded in 1993 and is based in Lewes, East Sussex. Comprising around thirty four experienced singers from a wide variety of backgrounds, the choir aims to perform at a professional standard whilst remaining firmly rooted in the fine English tradition of amateur music making. Music Director Sandy Chenery was recently interviewed by Lewes Classical.

The group's repertoire spans four centuries of sacred and secular music with an emphasis on a cappella singing. Past concerts are listed in the concert archive.

As a Registered Charity, the group strives to make music more accessible to the young by offering free admission to accompanied children at concerts which the choir itself promotes - in particular its popular Christmas concert.

The choir receives support from its Friends Association.  If you wish to become a Benefactor, Patron or Associate please approach the choir through the email address below.

Please get in touch if you would like to ask us to perform at a wedding, or other occasion.
