SING FOR HEALTH WITH HART MALE VOICE CHOIR
There is a growing evidence base which highlights the health benefits of singing in a group. This can be particularly effective for improving mental health and wellbeing and combatting loneliness and isolation. Singing can also support lung health and be used to help the management of symptoms for conditions such as dementia and Parkinson’s.
Hart Male Voice Choir was formed in 1975 and for over forty years has provided a platform for men to Sing for Health enjoying the pleasure of singing together and benefitting from the mental health and wellbeing support and camaraderie provided by singing in a group.
The choir sings, in four-part harmony, a range of songs including traditional male voice choir arrangements, songs from the shows, operatic pieces, folk songs, classic hymns and arrangements of popular music.
Over the years the choir has enjoyed a number of cultural exchange trips throughout the UK and abroad and has raised many thousands of pounds for local and national charities.
You are very welcome to join us at any Wednesday rehearsal to enjoy a sing along and make new friends!

Hart Male Voice Choir enjoy singing together and performing for different audiences in a variety of venues.
Now celebrating more than 40 years of song the choir provides a platform, for men who enjoy singing, to indulge their passion and to support local charities.
The concert programmes are aimed at mixed audiences with songs from opera and west end musicals together with rousing folk songs and traditional male voice choir arrangements.
Through our musical director concert programmes can be adapted to suit special occasions and audience preferences. Occasionally other choirs, soloists and musicians add texture to what is always a high standard of performance.
