New Members Welcome
We extend a warm welcome to singers of any age. We are
a friendly choir and are actively recruiting in all voice parts.
Prospective singers come along for two or three
rehearsals, after which a short audition is required.
Rehearsals are on Tuesdays evenings from 7:45pm to 9:45pm at South Hill Park Arts
Centre, Ringmead, Bracknell. The group is very friendly and having fun is an important
part of our evenings, led, aided and abetted by our Director of Music Nick Austin.

Men!
In common with many choirs, we particularly seek tenors and basses. Coming to learn,
laugh and join in group singing with a choir has been proven to be a significant health
and relaxation booster so why not fit an evening every week with Thames Voyces into
your schedule? Your family could be glad you did!
Young members Bursary
We encourage young singers to try us out, and can offer a waiver of our normal
subscription fees on request.
Supporting our Community
Thames Voyces has committed to supporting the wonderful
Thames Hospice which provides complete end of life nursing and
medical care in their hospice in Windsor, in their Community Therapy Unit, and within patients
homes.

Welcome to the Choir
Thames Voyces was founded in 1967 and quickly became
one of the most highly regarded chamber choirs in the area.
We aim to achieve the highest possible standards of performance across a broad range of
repertoire and musical styles, whilst at the same time seeking to entertain our audiences
whatever their background.
Some of our recent concerts:
Thames Voyces presents a varied selection of concerts each year in the south Berkshire
area around Bracknell, Wokingham and Crowthorne. We rehearse at South Hill Park in
Bracknell and perform there regularly in the lovely Recital Room and the Wilde Theatre.
Diarist and music-lover Ben Jonson spoke of “the voyce so sweet, the words so fair, as
some soft chime had stroked the air”. We do hope you will consider joining us or coming
to listen to those sweet voyces very soon.
Our Director of Music
Nick Austin joined us in 2013 and has made quite an impression with his infectious enthusiasm, his love of music, his desire for passionate performance and his unique sense of humour. Nick is a graduate of the Guildhall
School of Music and Drama, also directs Stanmore Choral Society and is
the rehearsal pianist for Bracknell Choral Society.
Friends and Sponsors
We invite you to join the “Friends of Thames Voyces”. For a small annual subscription you receive discounted tickets, advance notice of concerts, an invitation to an annual
social event and reserved seats on request. Or, you can join our mailing list.
Individuals or businesses wishing to sponsor the choir or advertise in our programmes are also
welcomed. We are very happy to discuss your specific objectives.
