TRINITY BROADS SINGERS - Repps with Bastwick  Trinity Broads Singers in rehearsal at Repps, April 2017; photo: David Anderson *************** Established in January 2009, Trinity Broads Singers is a friendly community choir that usually performs at least twice a year. We meet on Monday evenings, 7.30 to 9.30, in the Village Hall at Repps with Bastwick, Norfolk. We sing good music - glorious unaccompanied harmonies from across the ages and around the world - for the sheer love of it, while aiming to reach our best possible standard of performance. I teach all songs by ear, in an informal but focused atmosphere; there's no need to read music (although I do provide written music, if appropriate, for some songs - for those people who find it helpful). The cost is £5 per session. Thanks you to everyone who came and supported Trinity Broads Singers and Voicemale at our South Walsham concert on Saturday 30th June. We're delighted to announce that we raised £300 for Médecins sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). Here are Trinity Broads Singers, singing IINDONGA ZAJERIKO at our Thorpe Marriott concert, June 2017.

Our repertoire includes American Shape-Note and gospel music; medieval and renaissance songs from Britain and Europe; English folk songs, carols and West Gallery music; Georgian and Corsican polyphony; and African songs and dance-songs. I often arrange songs for choirs, and occasionally write them; we've also learned and performed songs written by other choir singers. The choirs are non-competitive; we sing good music for the sheer love of it, while aiming to reach our best possible standard in performance.
