Voices Together: A Day of Song, Community & Performance, featuring Palace Acappella, Beckenham Acappella and Crib Notes Choirs

💫 Come for the singing — stay for the community!

We’re bringing together three joyful community choirs for a day full of interactive workshops, mini performances, and one big finale. Whether you’re a seasoned singer, a curious listener, a parent with little ones, or a Crystal Palace local — this celebration is for YOU.

🎤 Featuring:

🎵 Palace Acappella Choir

A non-auditioned community choir in the heart of Crystal Palace, Palace Acappella is known for its warmth, inclusivity and vibrant performances all around SE19 — from singing at the Crystal Palace Bowl to surprise flashmobs in the local shops. This choir performs with passion both locally and further afield, with appearances at the Tower of London, the Landmark Festival of Choirs in Teddington, and even the UK Choir Festival in Berlin!

🎵 Beckenham Acappella Choir

Our brand-new sister choir based in Venue 28 near Clockhouse Station, Beckenham Acappella is already making waves with their bold spirit, beautiful harmonies, and warm community vibe. No auditions, just joy — with weekly rehearsals that often spill into the pub!

👶 Crib Notes Choir

A relaxed and welcoming choir especially for parents (and carers). No singing experience is required, and you’re welcome to bring your babies, toddlers, and little ones with you! Expect a super friendly, supportive vibe where you can have a good sing — even if you’re bouncing a baby at the same time.
