From zero to hero

Vocal Dimension is a womens' a cappella close harmony chorus based in Redhill, Surrey. Started a year ago, we have grown rapidly from a handful of members to a 22-strong, award-winning chorus. Members are from all walks of life, of varying ages and singing experience. We have a diverse repertoire including traditional barbershop material, show songs and modern classics such as Valerie, all in four-part harmony.

Being part of Making Music has given us the opportunity to take part in exciting events like the Voices Now festival at London's Roundhouse last March and has also provided a wealth of information and support that enabled us to flourish as a group to the point where we won the silver medal for small choruses in a national competition held at Symphony Hall, Birmingham, in May.

As one of our members said recently, 'It's a great place to be on a Tuesday night!'
