Quirky Choir: Make new friends and find your voice

Do you love to sing but feel you lack the confidence or experience to join a choir? darts, Doncaster's creative health charity, is on a mission to change that with their inclusive and welcoming choirs for all ages.

Quirky Choir: No experience? No problem!

Quirky Choir is open to everyone, regardless of age, gender, background, or ability. No auditions are required, and you don't need to be able to read music. It's all about the joy of singing and the chance to connect with your community. Quirky Choir meet on Wednesday during term time at The Point, from 6.30pm-8.30pm. Try your first session for free, then it’s just £4.50 per week. There’s no need to book, you can just turn up.

• “Celebrating Older People” (Wednesday 29th May, 6:30pm at Cast) – Experience the joy of singing with Quirky Choir at this special event and help to gather ideas for instant inclusion in a song called ‘I Am Not My Age’.
• “Sinfonia” (Friday 31st May–Saturday 1st June, 2:30pm & 7:30pm at Cast) – Quirky Choir members will be part of a moving symphony of voices in this performance created by The Performance Ensemble, celebrating the stories of older people.
