Be part of the Ukestral Voices Choir!

Jane Jelbart directs this community choir (with a little difference), teaching songs from around the world, as well as gospel, contemporary music and folk. We have performed at numerous festivals, including the National Folk Festival in 2014, 2015, 2018 and 2019.

We offer two opportunities to be a part of Ukestral Voices;  Friday afternoons – which has been going since 2012 and Wednesday evenings – which started March 2017. Both choirs are open to new singers.

There is an emphasis on harmonising, learning vocal parts, improvising and even a bit of percussion.  Jane is keen to get the best from your voice and improve your vocal technique, however she is also keen on having fun and making sure everyone enjoys themselves
