If you have ever wondered 'are there any community choirs near me?' then the answer is firmly yes!
The Darlington Rock Choir is led by County Durham based musician Florence Glen. The choir is for all ages and all the local County Durham branches of Rock Choir, like ours come together to do incredible performances like the 11,000 seat Wembley Arena that ITV1 asked to film for the Rock Choir documentary 'The Choir that Rocks' and Guinness World Record attempts (the choir members have 3 world records!) and community events too like the local County Durham music and food festivals.
Joining a choir can be a brave step to take for some and in light of this Florence tries to make it as easy as possible for you by giving the opportunity to have a FREE taster session and then to have a chat with her about singing. Rock Choir is the leading group in community singing. We launched our FREE choir taster sessions back in 2005 and have 20 years experience giving members of the public who are new to singing in a choir the chance to try joining a choir without the need to audition or read music.
Here is a quote about our choir - 'Rock Choir and the people in it have made me feel Happy, Energised, Accepted, Confident, Supported and Liked. It has also re-kindled my love of music and singing.' - Fe (Rock Choir member)
Rock Choir is a winner of the Red Ribbon 'Big Heart' Award. and holds 1 former and 2 current Guinness World Records. The choir is also credited with single handedly starting the contemporary choir movement.
