Welcome to the Powick Community Choir website.
We have rehearsal sessions at Powick Parish Hall on Thursdays from 7:00pm to 8:30pm and Sundays from 4:15 to 5:45. There is no requirement to attend both sessions, although many members do. We suggest that you contact Tom Wells (number below) to check the venue and time in case there are any last minute changes.
We would welcome enquiries from anyone who would like to join our choir. Previous choral experience or the ability to read music would be an advantage.

About the Choir
Powick Community Choir, under the musical direction of Tom Wells, has been growing and developing since its beginnings in early 2010. We draw our members from a wide local area and hold rehearsals on Sunday afternoons between 4.15 pm – 5.45 pm and Thursday evenings from 7.pm – 8.30 in Powick Parish Hall. Our membership rarely drops below 70 and we sing an eclectic range of music from choral classic to music from stage and screen. We also enjoy singing music written by our Musical Director and we are able to perform regularly with a professional orchestra.
We have performed in a wide variety of venues: Malvern Priory, Malvern Theatres, Worcester Cathedral, St. Mary’s Church Kempsey, and even St Georges Chapel, Windsor, to name but a few, and each December hold our ever popular Christmas concert at Stanbrook Abbey, Callow End (6 Christmas concerts) to sell-out audiences. The choir raises thousands of pounds for local charities . See our charities page
In 2017 we entered the Upton Choir Festival, the first competition we have ever entered. We were proud to be awarded the Judges Prize for the Best Performance. In 2018 we went one better at Upton and were awarded the prize for the 'Most Outstanding Choir'.
In March 2026 the choir was awarded Honours in the Large Choir section and the Worcester Creative Arts Festival and were advised that the choir was 'Well disciplined, stylish and high on audience appeal".
An introduction ...
Charities supported - We plan to support the following charities in 2026 Check out our Charities page for full details on past fundraising.
The Music Therapy Charity
What do we do?
Music reaches us on a deep human level. It taps into memory, emotion, movement, and connection – all at once. Music therapy is a professional and evidence-based approach tailored to each person’s needs to support children with developmental needs, provide comfort in palliative and hospice care, aid physical rehabilitation and improve mental health. The Music Therapy Charity funds essential and pioneering research and training.
The Mockingbird Trust
For young people with life limiting illnesses who spend a lot of their time at hospital appointments and undergoing treatment, it is extremely difficult to find the time and energy to arrange special experiences with loved ones away from the doctors and hospitals. The Anna Wilkinson Mockingbird Trust arranges trips and events for the young person or the whole family, taking the organisational and financial strain away in the hope of giving some relief from the daily stresses being faced.
