The Choir is open to all Loughborough University students, staff and members of the public aged 16 plus. In addition to weekly practices, the Choir gives several public performances a year, including Christmas and Spring concerts. The Choir are also invited to be a part of other University events such as the annual carol service, Christmas in the Woods and one-off events.
Run by LU Arts and conducted by Eleanor Graff-Baker, the Choir rehearses on a Monday evening at the Cope Auditorium (Edward Barnsley Building) during term time only, from 7pm-9pm. Rehearsals will resume on Monday 30 September.
Memberships

Student membership is free but students should still register. You can purchase a membership for the academic year 2024/2025 or for just one concert period.
You are welcome to observe or try a session free of charge before payment and you will be able to borrow the music for the night but not take it home.
