1101 Bay Ridge Avenue, Annapolis, MD 21403

The Freedom Choir invites singers to experience the power and joy of singing in harmony. Led by musician and vocalist Elizabeth Melvin, songs are taught by rote or by call and response.  Lyrics and recorded learning tracks are provided for members on the choir website.

Singers are thrilled at how easy it is to improve their musical skills when singing in a harmony section with others. Beautiful 3- and 4-part harmonies quickly unfold as the group comes together to sing in a safe, supportive and relaxed atmosphere.

The repertoire draws from an amazing variety of sources, including South African freedom songs, Irish blessings, Southern gospel, African American civil rights songs, rounds, chants and originals written by Elizabeth Melvin.

The Freedom Choir meets in two locations to choose from, twice a week. (Wednesday mornings, Annapolis and Thursday evenings, Severna Park, MD). The choir is not affiliated with any specific religious creed and seeks to build a community of caring people united by the experience of sharing song.

Fees are charged for each multi-week session and payment plans are available. A sliding scale is available, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Wednesdays, 11am - 12 noon or Thursdays, 7:30 - 8:30pm

The Vestry, Christ Church, Hampstead Square, Hampstead, London NW3 1AB

The Hampstead Singers is a warm, inclusive, mixed ability choir of between 10 and 16 people. We do a wide range of songs from around the globe, some written &/or arranged by people who are part of the Natural Voice Network.  We usually do at least one well known pop sing per term, as well as many other fun, beautiful, moving songs.

We are a very friendly choir, and there is no need to be able to read music. We are lucky enough to sing in the vestry at Christ Church Hampstead, which is a great space with a gorgeous acoustic within a beautiful church that sits on one of the highest points in London; the spire can be seen for miles around. All are welcome.

Mondays 2pm to 3.30pm
