Our annual Summer Sings are an opportunity for you to join us to sing through two choral works, to get to know GCU as a choir, and perhaps to join us in the Autumn.

THINKING ABOUT JOINING US?
We’re actively looking for singers with good voices and reasonable sight reading, who would relish the opportunity to perform wonderful music with top orchestras in fantastic venues.
We’re welcoming new singers (all parts) or those who just want to give us a try and see if we might be the choir for you.
Being part of Goldsmiths is a great way to continue your passion for music after you leave college or university, and an opportunity to meet like-minded people from across London.
