OHB Chorale — part of OHB Music

A mixed-voice choir for confident returners and complete newcomers alike

Our flagship ensemble: a warm, well-directed concert choir that rehearses weekly and performs twice a year. No experience assumed beyond a short, friendly audition — just a willingness to turn up and sing.

Next concert: Winter Voices — Christmas Concert — 12 December 2026, St Mary's Church Hall

About the ensemble

Why join OHB Chorale

OHB Chorale is OHB Music's flagship choir — the first ensemble we launched, and the proving ground for everything the wider family will become. We rehearse a broad, approachable repertoire of choral classics and contemporary pieces, aiming for a standard we're genuinely proud to put on a concert stage, while keeping the room welcoming to singers who haven't performed in years.

  • A genuinely social rehearsal — arrive as a stranger, leave with a section to sit with next week.
  • Sectional coaching and a Musical Director who explains, not just conducts.
  • The wellbeing benefit of group singing, without overclaiming it as therapy.
  • Two public concerts a year in real local venues, with programmes and proper front-of-house.

“I hadn't sung since school. Six weeks in, I had a whole row of people I looked forward to seeing every Tuesday.”

— Founding member, OHB Chorale
