Kodály Choirs

Kodály Choir of London

Holborn House Community Centre, Central London

The Kodály Choir of London rehearses choral music using Kodály principles. Some knowledge of solfa is recommended, and some choral singing experience is helpful. We sing beautiful music from a wide range of styles and eras of music etc, under the able direction of Alan Murdock. Work involves a range of pieces and exercises of varied ease/difficulty, some accessible for less experienced sight readers, some quite challenging. We are a small friendly group, who meet for the enjoyment and practice of music. Occasionally we present a concert, often informally for friends and family.

Time and Venue: The choir usually meet at 2:00pm to 5:00pm , normally on the second Sunday of most months, at the Holborn House Community Centre, Emerald Room, 35 Emerald Street, WC1N 3QW. (10 minutes walk from Russell Square or Holborn tube, 15 minutes walk from Farringdon for Elizabeth Line and Thameslink.)
