Volunteer

With eight days packed full of world-class music and visitors from all over the country, our team of dedicated volunteers plays a crucial role in the running of Three Choirs each year. Whether you want to support a festival you love, are looking to start a career in arts administration or event management, or are simply passionate about music, there will be roles to suit everyone and we would love to hear from you.

As well as getting to be part of a community of friendly volunteers and staff, there is also the added bonus of free standby tickets for concerts when you’re not volunteering. Read more about the different volunteering opportunities at 3choirs.org/volunteer

Take to the stage

Performers can take part in the festival by signing up for a slot on the Community Bandstand. Located in the heart of the festival village, the bandstand will play host to local musicians and performance artiststhroughout the week, from solo acts to choirs and ensembles. Email bandstand@3choirs.org to find out more.

Singers and string players are warmly invited to take part in Nature Sings, the festival’s participation project for 2024 exploring the calendar year through music, which culminates in a festival showcase concert featuring a special all-abilities arrangement of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and a wide range of songs. Individuals, ensembles and choirs are all welcome! Contact hannah.roper@3choirs.org for more information.

If you’d like to take to the stage in one of the festival’s flagship evening concerts, applications are open until 10 May for the Three Choirs Festival Voices. This is a wonderful opportunity to take part in the festival and perform with the Philharmonia Orchestra, and no audition is required.
