Interested in Joining ECS?
The choir does not routinely audition prospective members. As long as you can sing a tune and are willing to do a bit of homework to learn your notes – you qualify. Contact us today to enquire about joining our community of singers and a member of our friendly team will be in touch with more information. We cannot wait to hear from you!
The ECS Summer term starts on Thursday 1st May and runs through each Thursday until the 10th of July. This term builds towards our end of term Summer Concert on Saturday the 12th of July 2025. More details can be found in the concerts page.
Time
19:30 – 21:30
Most Thursdays
We rehearse between 7:30pm – 9:30pm with a social tea break. Concerts normally take place on weekends with key dates being given to the choir each term.
Cost
£160.00
Annual Fee
Our annual subscription is £160. We also offer the option to pay in three equal instalments of £60 per term with an early bird discount available if paid in the first four weeks. Subscription payments can be made by cheque, cash, or BACS. You can come along for a few weeks to see how you like us before we ask for any payment or commitment.
Location
St Luke’s
Se9 1XQ
We meet weekly at St Luke’s Eltham Park Church, Eltham Park, Westmount Road, SE9 1XQ. Concerts normally take place in Eltham, South and Central London.
Eltham Choral Society’s policy is that the rate of subscription should never be a barrier to individual membership. In case of difficulty, prospective members may apply to the membership committee for a concessionary reduced subscription. This will be subject to sympathetic review.
