U3A Mission Statement:

"Membership of a U3A is open to all in their third age, which is defined not by a particular age but by a period in life in which full time employment has ceased."

The choir meet locally on Thursday mornings

at 10.30am to 12.30pm at :

Glenmore House, 6 The Crescent, Surbiton, KT6 4BN.


The hall has a large free car park and with local bus stops outside.

(large car park and bus stops for 65,71,281,465,671, 965, K1, K2 and K3)


This very friendly 4 Part Choir (SATB) is looking to recruit more voices for our future concerts. We sing various different styles of music ranging from sacred to secular, classical to modern.

All are welcome.

There is no formal audition and you don’t need to be able to sight read but if you can hold a tune and, hopefully, remember a fair amount of it for the next time, that’s good enough for us. Maybe a willingness to practise between rehearsals but above all, an enthusiasm for music making.

All music is provided and, with a refreshment break it’s a chance to come and meet and make new friends. A quarterly charge is levied to cover the choir’s expenses.

Please note, for insurance purposes, all members of the choir must be Kingston U3A members. Application forms are available on the U3A website.    Kingston U3A membership     https://www.kingstonu3a.org.uk/membership
