Subscription:

We are grateful for the support of St. Saviour's Church, Hampstead and St. Peter's Church, Belsize Park.  Because of their generous support, the Belsize Community Choir does not have to cover cost of rehearsal or performance facilities, Music Director fees or insurance.  This obviously greatly reduces the cost for us as members.  

The subscription fee for the 2011-2012 season is set at £25 a term (£75 total for the three terms).  Arrangements can be made to pay in instalments, if desired.

The choir subscription covers the cost of the purchase or hire of sheet music, piano/organ accompanist fees, fees for any additional musicians or soloists required for concerts and a small subsidy to cover costs at concerts.

Discounts and Concessions:

Concessions are available and may apply to people who are registered unemployed, disabled or in receipt of family credit, income support, job seekers allowance, people over 60 or students under 25 in full time education.

Please Note:

We rehearse at St. Peter's Church and are very grateful for the support that both St. Peter's Church, Belsize Park and St. Saviour's Church, Hampstead are willing to offer as outreach to the community.  However, please note we are a separate community organisation not officially affiliated to either congregation - and neither congregation has suggested that any strings be attached to their offer of support to a community choir.  We warmly welcome people from all backgrounds and strive to be as inclusive as possible.
