North Kingston Choir - Informal Non Audition Choir Singing Modern Music
Anchor 1

North Kingston Choir is an informal and relaxed adult community choir with an emphasis on fun music-making! We sing mainly modern and uplifting music. 

No auditions - we believe everyone can sing! We rehearse and perform with our live band. Our rehearsals are on Mondays during term-time from 8 - 9.30pm in Kingston, Surrey, UK.

The NKC ethos is to provide an inclusive contemporary musical experience that is friendly, fun and energising. It seeks to challenge but also inspire.

Jennifer Yard has been a Head of Music in secondary schools for over 30 years and has been musical director for a wide range of musicals including West Side Story, My Fair Lady, Legally Blonde and Sister Act.

 

She has been the director of a number of choirs including Wallington Gospel choir, WHS GLEE and Noteworthy who have performed on West End stages, London Olympics and have won competitions. Within the last seven years, Jennifer has directed adult choirs including Glee Club UK and West End Musical Choir.

Founding Musical Director 

Jessica Bate co-founded the choir and was Musical Director in its first decade. Her classical music training was in piano, voice and violin at the Junior Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She firmly believes in the social and health benefits of group singing.

 

“Singing is such a powerful way to boost your mood and raise self-esteem. I am passionate about group singing as a tonic for the stresses of our busy lives.  I hope NKC singers leave each rehearsal feeling happy, energised and relaxed!”
