New choir in Wimborne, Dorset starting soon

Some Voices is opening its 6th choir outside London later this month, with a brand new branch in Wimborne, Dorset. As part of our mission to make singing together available to as many people as possible, we are building up our family of choirs around the country.

The Wimborne choir will be led by locally based conductor and composer Darren Bartlett. Darren’s works have been performed worldwide and have featured on BBC Television and Radio, Canadian TV and US TV channels. As a solo artist Darren has toured overseas and has performed at venues including The Hollywood Bowl.

"I’m a true believer in the gift of music and I’m looking forward to sharing my passion and experience in this exciting new Some Voices choir in Wimborne. We will be creating a wonderful place for the community to come together and sing without pressure or formality.” Darren Bartlett, Choir Leader

Rehearsals begin on 29th September on Thursday evenings at the Allendale Centre on Hanham Road.

You can come along and try out the choir for free in a taster session - find more details at : somevoices.co.uk/wimborne.

All of our choirs learn the same songs and rehearse every term towards an end of term performance with the same theme. This term’s theme is Choir Actually, where we’ll be bringing to life the soundtrack to the movie Love Actually and creating our own versions of some of the film’s most iconic moments.

Some Voices

SOME VOICES started small in 2010, with seven chorus members meeting up to perform original arrangements of popular classics that range from Bowie to Bjork, from Stevie Wonder to Stevie Nicks, from Folk to Hip Hop, and everything in between - all with a Some Voices twist.

Nine years down the line, more than 1500 singers are now part of the exciting ensemble that performs on some of the biggest stages in London. KOKO, The Southbank Centre, Oval Space,The Rivoli Ballroom, The Grand Clapham, HERE and The Troxy have all seen the group attract audiences in their thousands
