Keeping Everyone Safe
Our purpose during the Covid pandemic is to keep singing together safely, and use online platforms when we need to.
Singing In Person
If you’re joining us in person, we expect participants to let us know their vulnerability to the virus, as well as take regular tests for Covid, and not attend if you test positive or have symptoms.

Zoom
We use the www.zoom.us platform for choir rehearsal, which is the best platform for group singing online, although it does have its limitations, the main of which is an unavoidable sound delay. We try to do a mix of singing along with the leaders, and also unmuting ourselves for the warm-up and to sing more ambient pieces together, so that we can still get to hear each other’s voices sometimes.
