Aurora was launched in September 2006 with just
five singing members. Its formal creation by Dawn Kelly (founder
and Operational Director) was motivated through a love of harmony
singing.
At Aurora, we sing close unaccompanied harmony,
a style known as A Cappella. Our repertoire is varied and includes
swing, blues, gospel, modern, barbershop and more…..
We
are extremely lucky to have as our Musical Director, Nigel,
who is also our voice coach. We currently have over 40 members
and we have performed at a wide
range of functions and venues, including weddings, festivals
and annual events.
Aurora is a warm, friendly group of women who
all love to sing. Our members have mixed singing abilities and
our ages range from 7 to over 70 years. Some members have sung
for many years in different choirs, whilst others have only
ever sung in the bathroom.
Previous experience is not necessary and there is no need to
read music. We use specially prepared teacher CDs, so songs
can be learnt by ear - these can be downloaded from our members'
page (password required). The only pre-requisite is a love
of - or a desire to - sing!
Please contact us if
you're interested in becoming a member, or if you would like
us to perform at your event.
