You Can’t Stop the Beat! City Academy Encore Choir is a Musical Theatre choir meeting each week in London Bridge. Open to all genders and voice types, we welcome people who love to sing a broad range of repertoire from the West End and Broadway. Our musical director, Aaron Nice, will expand your repertoire and improve your performance skills on a vibrant platform.
Our Musical Director, Aaron Nice, brings together like-minded singers like you in a fun, social community to enjoy original arrangements of their favourite show tunes. You will also have the opportunity to perform twice a year on a London Stage.
If you’re interested in our Encore Choir, you must attend a taster session. During the taster, you will attend a regular drop in rehearsal and meet the rest of the group. The Musical Director will also take the opportunity to hear you sing and assess your suitability for the group. Following the taster, our team will inform you via email if you have been accepted.

Who Can Join?
City Academy Encore is open to anyone with some previous singing experience. The choir is not suitable for absolute beginners.
If you do not have the experience required, we recommend you complete a Beginners Singing and Improvers Singing course before pr ogressing to the choir.
We are always looking for new members, so if you have a love of performing and are looking to develop your vocal technique, please contact info@city-academy.com for more information.
As a member of Encore, you don’t have to commit to every rehearsal evening, as we appreciate people have busy lives. However, putting on a choir show takes a lot of commitment, hard work, and practice at home for it to be a success, so we do ask that you attend as many classes as you can.
Performances
City Academy Encore perform in showcases and larger scale productions each year at prestigious music venues across London. Additional performances for the choir may also include community projects and live music events.
Choir Director
City Academy Encore is run by Aaron Nice who trained at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, and is an experienced performer, Musical Director, and singing tutor.
As a singing teacher and choir leader, Aaron focuses on the fun side of singing, helping singers develop confidence and overcome nerves in a safe and supportive environment, whilst concentrating on correct vocal technique and expanding and exploring repertoire knowledge.
“I always assure my students that there is absolutely nothing to be nervous about. My job is to help you achieve your absolute best. The opportunity to be part of a choir and to learn and develop new skills whilst meeting new like-minded people is a wonderful thing!”
