LONDON PRO ARTE CHOIR | Looking for new members

The LPAC choir is currently looking for new members.  The choir is based in Mill Hill and performs to a very high standard several concerts each year plus a tour.  They rehearse locally as well.

If you sing and enjoy singing then this could be a great chance to join an established choir with one of the UK's top Music Directors Mr Tom Winnpenny :

Tom Winpenny is Assistant Master of the Music at St Albans Cathedral where his duties include accompanying the daily choral services and directing the acclaimed Abbey Girls Choir.
