After a busy few months since the Torch Theatre re-opened its doors in September, the team are excited to announce that their talented choir ‘Torch Voices’ will be returning for in-person rehearsals from Thursday January 6th.

Pembrokeshire’s most inclusive community choir’, you don’t need an audition to join the group, and the music covers a range of styles. With increasing evidence showing that singing releases endorphins, serotonin and dopamine – the 'happy' chemicals which boost your mood and make you feel good about yourself it could be the something you’ve been looking for to start the New Year!

After keeping the choir in voice with virtual sessions since lockdown started, choir leader Angharad Sanders said, “I am extremely excited to be back in the room where the music happens in 2022. Having been working remotely for so long, I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and support during our Torch Virtual streamed events, but it is going to be a dream come true to be back working with our original members and some exciting new voices. Community singing has always been something that I have been passionate about, allowing freedom and expression in a friendly and supportive environment.

Our Thursday sings are a chance to meet like-minded people, learn some vocal skills and techniques to progress your singing and have lots of laughs and fun. As a technical singing teacher, I try to embed string vocal technique into all sessions, ensuring strong, reliable vocal health and as a professional musician, I am passionate to keep music live. As such, all our rehearsals and performances are accompanied on piano and a live band, where possible which adds to the experience! Here’s to a fabulous, musical 2022 and the return of the Torch Voices.”

The sessions will run during term time, every Thursday between 6-7.30pm at the Torch Theatre, Milford Haven and membership is charged at £50 per term.
