The choir, now known by The Gateway Singers, consists of approximately fifty members of varying experience and ability.

Anyone with a love of singing, particularly in a group, is welcome to join. Some experience of choral singing is an advantage but not absolutely necessary. The Choral Director contacts all new members as a courtesy and to ascertain which section new members will join.

Our repertoire ranges from Verdi to John Denver so there is something for everyone. Members are divided into the standard soprano, alto, tenor and bass sections but we sing four-part, three-part and two-part pieces.

The Gateway Singers meet on Tuesday mornings from 10.00am until 12.00pm in the Parkview Room at the Camberwell Civic Centre. A mid-rehearsal afternoon tea break enables members to socialise and get to know each other. We ask for regular attendance which is important in building individual improvement and developing the group’s overall musicianship. We ask that notice of absences be given.

The Gateway Singers give two major performances during the year as well as occasional smaller presentations. A standard dress is expected for these. Although it is preferable that all members are involved in performing, it is not obligatory.
