In addition the choir is available to hire for weddings and other events.

WMVC are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic and experienced Accompanist who can support the MD & choir and continue to pursue excellence in male voice choral singing when our present MD retires at the end of September 2018 and our present Accompanist takes over his role.
We are a progressive and exciting Midlands based choir performing twelve or more concerts a year along with UK and continental tours, singing from a repertoire of over 150 pieces. In 2011 we achieved charitable status enabling the choir to support other charities both local and national including St Richards, Midlands Air Ambulance and Cancer Research, raising over £200,000 since we formed in 1987.
We rehearse at the Angel Centre Worcester on Mondays and Wednesdays and currently have over 70 choristers. To assist the MD the choir's administration is carried out by a Main Committee,
supported by a Music Sub Committee.
Remuneration is paid and would reflect experience, qualifications and availability.
