THE PHOENIX CHOIR OF CRAWLEY
Phoenix Choir of Crawley is a mixed voice adult choir based in Crawley. We rehearse on Thursday evenings and put on three or four concerts each year, with professional instrumentalists and soloists. We sing a range of music, including choral classics, traditional songs and contemporary works. We like to support our local community.
