Tim Knight
The Survival of your Choir
  • Are your choir members getting older; your audiences diminishing ?
  • Do you have difficulty keeping the members you have ?
  • Have you any idea who your audiences actually are and why they come to you ?
  • or worse -
  • why they stay away!
These are some of the questions posed by Choir survival workshops and ones that every choir needs to be thinking about if they are to survive the future!

  • Using just one of your tips attracted us 16 New members!
  • We would obviously recommend your workshops to other choirs as we can already see the success from putting your ideas into practice.
  • Many thanks for sending the booklet through, it is packed full of relevant material that I am sure anyone will benefit from.
  • I now have a 24 point action plan covering publicity, recruitment etc. Thanks it was great.

Choir Survival workshops come in two forms:
  • Form One: Group ones which are open to any Choirs in a certain area and which cover the problems facing choirs in the areas of Building audiences, Making an event, Concert Planning, recruitment and Funding, about six a year are held in various parts of the UK;
  • Form Two: Individual ones, targeted at the problems of the particular choir and offering answers special to that choir. These can be held anytime and a great deal of research is carried out into the Choir and its area.

Fees for Individual workshops for 2008 are £90.00 for a half day and £155 for a full day, (plus Travel expenses)

"Before the event there was immense interest in what you might have to say, after the event there is even more intense interest in trying to incorporate as many of the ideas as possible into out Choir and Concert Planning, I asked you where do we go from here, ... we now have an answer Loud and clear .."

There are many choirs who consistently have recruitment problems, who wait until the problem is beyond repair before doing anything; problems with finding and appointing a new conductor; problems with dwindling audiences and problems with publicity guaranteed to reach almost nobody!

Whatever your Choir's problems, you should have a talk to Tim, you may not like all he has to say, but rest assured it works, and many choirs will testify to that.
