Raise Your Voices
a community choir in Wirksworth, Derbyshire
2026 choir sessions
start on January 15th
RYV is a community choir in Wirksworth, formed in April 2009, purely for the joy of singing! We ring the changes from a selection of genres, mostly in four part harmony, offering a warm welcome to all, when good craic and camaraderie abounds!
We love to learn new songs but we also have many a soft spot for the tried and tested old favourites we fish out for fun!!.
We are delighted to announce that we have a visiting choir leader for the January sessions at Wellspring as usual.
We welcome Sarah Matthews back to lead us until Lester's return in February.
Sarah is a professional folk musician and singer, playing the fiddle, viola, light percussion and tenor guitar. A composer, improviser, song-writer teacher, workshop-leader, dancer and teacher; she is passionate and enthusiastic, and enjoys sharing her music and singing with others.
Simply come along to Wirksworth Wellspring Meeting Space on most Thursday evenings from 7pm-9 pm. Weekly subs are £5 per person. No auditions, no experience necessary, BUT please contact us before you come so we can send you the song sheets to print off. The Welcome Notes explain a lot more of the "what, where, who, why and when" of RYV! Check the diary too!
