Our Choir
The Sound of Sirens Services Choir is based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.
We are open to all public services personnel, including those currently serving, retired, civilian staff, and volunteers (and their immediate family).
We don’t audition, and all levels of experience are welcome to join.
We regularly perform at local events and host our own.
We are dedicated to sharing the joy of singing together through our unique blend of vocal harmony and community spirit, making every rehearsal and performance a memorable experience.

The Sound of Siren Services choir has community at its heart. We started as a 12-week wellbeing project in 2022.
Those founding members wanted to continue what we’d started. We opened up to all public services and rebranded to become The Sound of Sirens Services Choir.
As well as sharing a love of singing and music we have all found friendship and community.
Many of us have discovered hidden singing ability, learned how to sing in a choir, and developed confidence.
We have performed at several local events, and have hosted our own.

If you are not sure which section would suit your voice that is fine. You can try different sections during your taster sessions, or ask the advice of Joshua our musical director.
