Testimonials
“ 'I joined the choir having not sung before and have enjoyed every week since enormously with confidence growing every concert. Victoria makes it a lot of fun while still pushing our skills each term and it's still really open to anyone new. Completely recommend it!'”

“I first came across the newly-formed Bristol Hippodrome Choir at a taster session in December 2012 and I enjoyed that so much that I made the commitment to join the Choir properly in January 2013 and I've been loving it ever since. Victoria and Olivia are great fun, really know their stuff and teach us with such passion that I really look forward to going every week - and I've never been someone who joins clubs. We are a friendly, welcoming, positive and supportive bunch of all ages and backgrounds and it's nice that the group isn't one of these massive, serious choirs that you can sometimes get lost in. We are learning, challenged and improving all the time and there are plenty of opportunities for individuals to shine and try out new things. I'm so glad I joined!”

“ 'Joining the Hippodrome Choir is easily the best thing that I have done in a long time. Its both challenging and great fun, I never thought I could sing but thought I would give it a go and have never looked back. Victoria chooses great music - a mix of bluesy ballads and also more up tempo stuff. Its a great mix of people of all ages and we all get on really well. If you are looking for a really good sing and plenty of opportunities to sing at other venues (Colston Hall foyer, on The Matthew and at St Nicholas market to name a few!) then do come along - it really is the more the merrier!'”

“'I joined The Hippodrome Choir a year ago after attending a short singing course with Victoria. I wanted to pursue singing as a fun activity but the choir has now become a highlight of my week. I look forward to spending time with a diverse group of friendly and talented people. The choir is warm and welcoming so don't be afraid to come by! I've noticed an improvement in my voice and credit our amazing coach Victoria for this. I hope to sing with these lovely people for a very long time'.”
