The choir is still operating but as a virtual choir for the time being. There are rehearsals on-line and virtual recording projects
We have a wide range of compendia and sheet music to hire as listed below. Please email etcetera@civilservicechoir.org.uk and we shall advise on the hire price and availability. However, we do not currently have access to our stock and so for the time being are unable to supply any scores.
