welcome to guildfordvox
Have you made “joining a choir” one of your new year’s resolutions? Maybe you haven’t sung since you left school, or you had a bad experience in a cliquey choral society. Whatever your previous singing experience (or lack thereof), Guildford Vox is a good place to reboot your vocal chords. We don’t audition, or read from the dots. Our varied and accessible material is all taught by ear by our enthusiastic and encouraging conductor, Anna Tabbush.
There’s no pressure to perform, but all choir members are welcome to join us for performances. Last year’s venues included Guilfest, St John’s Church, Farncombe, the Keystone pub, Guildford, the Switching on of Guildford’s Christmas Lights and RHS Wisley. We also recorded an album of lullabies in Holy Trinity Church, Guildford, to raise money for War Child and have raised more that £2500 to date.
This year we will be visiting our twin town, Freiburg at Easter, as well as hosting a visit from Freiburg’s over 50’s orchestra when we’ll be performing with them at a number of venues including Guilfest.
Each year in our choir is more exciting than the previous year and we invite you share in and add to the uplifting, glorious, harmonious sound of Guildford Vox.

Guildford Vox began life in November 2005 at The Guildford Institute, directed by singer and conductor Anna Tabbush,
We're already enjoying a sizeable and enthusiastic membership, and our repertoire consists of
contemporary and traditional songs from the British Isles and around the world.
Unlike most choirs, all of the material is taught by ear - no dots whatsoever!
