Mini August Choir

If you have been looking for a way to spend your Wednesday evenings in August, the Mini August Choir is setting up at Brighton Electric for a four-week run. It is a pop-up choir format designed specifically for adults who enjoy music and want to try group singing without the pressure of formal auditions or the need to read sheet music. The sessions are scheduled for August 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2026, offering a structured but relaxed environment to get involved in local music-making.

The sessions are led by Jade Williams, who brings experience from her work as a choir leader with Some Voices and as the Head of Songwriting at WaterBear College of Music. The programme focuses on learning modern songs, and participants are provided with listening materials to help with the process. While the primary goal is the weekly singing sessions, there is an optional opportunity to perform at the end of the four-week cycle, though this is entirely up to the group.

Located at 22 Lewes Road, Brighton Electric serves as the venue for these gatherings. The standard price for the four-week programme is £25.00, though it is worth noting that pricing can sometimes fluctuate. Since this is a pop-up format, it is a straightforward option if you are interested in a short-term commitment rather than a long-term choir membership. It is a practical way to engage with music in a group setting, regardless of your previous experience level.
