Song Circle Women's Choir Group

About us

We are a ladies' choir based in Mid-Suffolk, joining women and communities together in song. Whether you love to sing or have never sung, Song Circle will welcome you with open arms. This page is designed to answer any questions you might have.

The choir was formed four years ago by Anna Winton Mills, a well-known local musician with four decades' teaching experience. In that time we've grown to have over 100 active members spread over five (very relaxed and friendly) rehearsal groups.

What sort of music do you sing?

We cover a broad range of music from musicals to pop songs to light classical and other well known pieces. Some songs are sung in unison (everyone singing the same tune) but most are sung in harmony.

Your introductory session to the choir is FREE!
Come along and decide whether we're a good fit for you.

After that, if you decide you want to join, then your membership is £8 a week, paid in advance termly. To give you an idea: the autumn term is currently 12 weeks long (13 if you count half term). Because your first week is free, that means your first term will cost £88.
This entitles you to go to as many rehearsals as you want in the week AND have access to the teaching resources to practice at home.

Anna very much sees the choir as a supportive community. We welcome each new member and try to ensure that everyone is supported when they first join us.

We always have a natter before rehearsals and during the tea break. Anna and all the members of your rehearsal group are also available to chat on Messenger during the week. 

We also do a fair bit of socialising and having fun. There's always cake after our concerts (lots of cake!). 

Plus the local reps who look after the interests of each individual rehearsal group have been working hard on extracurricular events for the choir. There have been trips to see musicals, various fund-raising events were organised and of course there's usually a Christmas meal...
