We sing regular choral services on Sundays at 10.00 am and 6.30 pm during term-time at Emmanuel Church, Wylde Green. The two choirs share the responsibility for providing music at these services. We are also available for Weddings at Emmanuel Church or other venues. We sing a wide repertoire ranging from short pieces to major choral works with full orchestra. No other young persons' choir can offer such a rich variety of music learning and performance.
