About The Bristol Mix
Our Vision:
To be an outstanding mixed-voice chorus, that inspires excellence in a cappella singing within a welcoming and fulfilling community built on fun, friendship, commitment, respect & inclusivity.
Our Mission:
We are an inclusive, welcoming and supportive chorus, united by a shared commitment to musical excellence in a cappella singing. Through preparation, passion and personal responsibility we help one another grow as singers and performers, creating an environment in which friendship, enjoyment and outstanding ensemble singing can flourish.
Since forming in late 2019, The Bristol Mix has had an incredible journey. Despite a delayed start due to lockdown, we hit the ground running—winning Gold at our first public performance in the 2022 BABS Mixed Chorus Contest, and adding Silver and Bronze in 2024 & 2025 to complete the set.
Remarkably, we’ve achieved this with just four full-day rehearsals a year, plus the odd evening session. Now, we’re ready for the next chapter.
While our love for barbershop harmony remains strong, we have broadened our horizons to explore a wider range of choral styles & repertoire that we’re equally passionate about, showcasing the full versatility of our choir and to make the most of the incredible voices we have. We’re incredibly proud of our wonderful SATB choir, and we’re excited to take the next step in our musical journey together.
As part of this exciting shift, we're discovering and performing the rich & diverse world of SATB choral music to add to our existing repertoire. There’s an abundance of stunning material out there that we’re eager to dive into and continue to grow musically as a group. Our doors are open to anyone that would like to sing with us. So, if you love a cappella, want to be part of an award‑winning SATB choir, and can travel to Bristol for rehearsals and performances, you’re welcome to join us—wherever you’re coming from. We’re a 50-60 strong auditioned chorus committed to high‑quality music‑making.
We meet to rehearse between 6 and 8 times per year meaning that the emphasis between rehearsals is on personal learning backed up with extremely high quality rehearsals under the direction of our fabulous musical director. We often bring in some of the countries top coaches. To support this, we’ll add two or three extra rehearsal days a year and embrace a broader choral experience.
We’re welcoming new singers who share our enthusiasm for high-level choral performance & a variety of styles. If you’re passionate about singing and looking for a vibrant, ambitious choir to be part of, we’d love to have you join us! You can expect a warm welcome & fantastic singing.
