About Us

Fosse Singers was formed in 2007, so we are a young choir (Before you collectively add up our ages !).

We meet on Wednesdays during term time at the Fosse Neighbourhood Centre, Mantle Road, Leicester, from 7-8:45pm.

We perform a wide range of contemporary material from folk, to pop, to spirituals, to jazz, songs from the shows, and light classical, and welcome suggestions from members.

Our spring term starts on Wednesday 18th January 2012. New members are most welcome and are advised to arrive at 6:45pm.

FAQs.

Where do you rehearse?

We rehearse at the Fosse Neighbourhood Centre, a well signed and easy to find converted red brick school building on Mantle Road, which is between Fosse Road North, and Tudor Road, in Leicester's West End. There are two car parks, as well as street parking.

What are the fees and costs?

The fees are £50 a term or £30 for concessions,which includes over 60's, those in receipt of benefits and students. The fees cover hall hire, conductor and pianist time, music etc. For non formal performances we wear red T shirts with the Fosse Singers logo which cost £7 and for all performances we use choir folders which cost £6 to buy or £10 deposit to hire. Cheques should be made payable to Fosse Singers Ltd. In May 2011 we are very excited to be flying to Sweden to sing as part of our Swedish choral exchange. The cost of this is still to be finalised.

I don't read music, will this be a problem?

Lots of our members had never sung with a choir before and don't consider themselves as 'readers'. We provide you with rehearsal MP3s so you can listen to your part and practise at home or in the car. Most members find this really helps and over time their eyes and ears train together to follow sheet music. We also offer a termly music theory introduction class to help you understand what all those dots mean.
