Our first ever Christmas album!
Alongside our past season holiday tracks, we have a fantastic programme of Christmas Classics to play whilst you open presents, pop open the fizz and see to your festive feasts.
This year, to celebrate the season and our 5th Anniversary year, we invited our members to choose a bonus 6th track. We were so inspired by your ideas that we have decided to include 3 of your choices!
Join us NOW and feature on our first Christmas Album
What Our Singers Are Saying
Great, addictive. Each project gets better and better!
Covadonga Barrallo Fernandez
I loved Album II, specially Ofulu Lorere. I managed to attend several rehearsals and special sessions and I was able to record and submit all the pieces. The final result is awesome 😎

I almost didn't sign up for this as I knew I would be busy all the way through July, but I'm so glad I did. It gave me a wonderful August. What a lovely choice of music! And what a lot I learned from the rehearsals and specialist sessions.

Read MoreI loved all of the pieces Tori and Jamie chose for this Album Project. Each was completely different from the others, and each asked something different from the singer. And impressive resources were brought in to provide rich context and amplification for each piece - composers, choral conductors, professional singers. SAHC is such a powerful and unique venue providing a face to face live meet up with global musicians and composers, and with other avid singers. I am grateful and humbled to have this in my life. I'm hooked and cannot imagine life without SAHC.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I join the Album Project V?
To join The Album Project V click the Sign Up Now button above. Once you’ve signed up you’ll receive an email with information about how to access the album scores, learning tracks and pre-recorded rehearsals and sessions.
How much does the Album Project V cost to join?
The Album Project V costs £45 to join; if you subscribe to SingPlus you will receive a 20% on this and all future projects.
The project price includes the learning resources for all five pieces; all five scores, guide tracks, pre-recorded rehearsals and special guest sessions with composers and guest artists.
The price of our Album Projects is higher than our single-track recording projects, reflecting the amount of resources available.
Can I pay to join rehearsals for just one track?
An important of our ethos is to champion less well known and diverse repertoire and help it become more widely known and loved. The Album Project is an invitation to SAHC members to discover this repertoire with us, so we’ve programmed a selection works that sit well together. For this reason, The Album Project is offered as a package of five pieces rather than as five individual tracks.
Once you’ve joined the project you are welcome to learn and record all five tracks or just one. However, we can’t offer a discount for taking part in fewer than five tracks.
Can I donate to support the waitlist for this project?
As we are reopening the project for a limited time it is not possible to open our waitlist.
You can, however, give the project as a gift! (See above)
If you would like to make an additional donation to the WorldChoir, please click here. We’re a very small team and we receive no external funding. Any donation you can make, large or small, is greatly appreciated by all of us.
Our funding model is constantly evolving. For now, we are 100% funded by project registration fees, but we hope to be able to secure funding in the future to help keep us going.

Do I have to submit a recording? Can I just take part in the rehearsals?
Not if you don’t want to! It’s absolutely fine for you to just watch our pre-recorded rehearsals and take part in the process without submitting a recording. If the project is a video project, we also accept audio-only submissions for those who would prefer not to be seen
-
I've not sung in an in-person choir before and don't have much/any choir experience, can I still take part?
Absolutely! We provide all the materials you need to learn the music for our projects, including the score, voice-part specific rehearsals, and learning tracks. With members from over 75 countries with every possible experience level we make sure that whichever way you learn there are the resources you need.
