We are proud to be part of our local community and perform at many diverse events each year.
Recent highlights have included annual performances at ChoirBlast, Guilfest, joining Alder Valley Brass for Christmas carols, and celebrating dawn on May Day up St Martha’s. Further afield we went to Freiburg, Guildford’s twin town in Germany, and also toured Northumberland & Scotland. Beyond Guildford our gig venues have included Normandy Therapy Garden, Farnham Maltings, RHS Wisley, Loseley Park, Shalford Mill, Royal Festival Hall, Polesden Lacey and Brighton.
We are always looking for new and interesting opportunities to perform, and love to raise money for our chosen charities. Guildford Vox is affiliated to Community Vox, which aims to bring community arts to the people of Surrey and the South East through performance and education.
Free Taster Sessions
14th September 2026 or 4th January 2027
19.00-21.00
St Mary’s, Quarry Street, Guildford
Ever thought of singing in a community choir, but never dared? Come to our free taster evenings and give it a try. There are no auditions and you don’t need to be able to read music.
Anyone is welcome for a taster session any week for free. Thereafter, it’s £5 per session if paid either termly or half-termly, £7 if paid weekly.
Please note we are not a church choir. We rehearse in St Mary’s because, like a hermit crab, we outgrew our previous homes. This one comes with 12th century carvings, a good acoustic and “temptatiton”.
Joining Guildford Vox—It’s easy; just attend any session and fill in the membership form, which should be on the table as you enter. You’ll then get added to our Muzodo account; we only use this for information about choir or occasionally events linked to Anna. Once you hit ‘accept’ on the confirmation email, you’ll be getting everything you should need to know.
Some of the emails will be about events, giving you the option to say whether you can come or not; please respond, by hitting “Yes”, “No” or even “Maybe” in the email. If circumstances change you can update your response direct on Muzodo.
Subscriptions—£5 per session if paying for the term or half-term. Or £7 for each rehearsal for pay as you go. Costs apply whether you attend in person or on Zoom.
