What Is ACC?

Usually, we sing in parts, with more than 100 members,from a wide area in Hampshire and beyond, divided between Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass sections, so that there is always a place for everyone, no matter how high or low they can sing.

Where are we based?
Alresford is a small, attractive, and popular market town, and often appears in the media as one of the ‘best places to live’ in England. ACC has played its part in enriching the community, area and has even won awards for its contribution to the quality of life in the town!
When Do We Practice?
We meet on Monday evenings, during school term times, from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. Sometimes, extra ‘sectional’ practices and workshops are planned, and these may be just before our main practice, at 7pm, or perhaps offered on different days. These are advertised to members by email and through the Members’ Pages of this website Platform.
