Thank you for looking at us!

Jigsaw Sound is a well-established adult, mixed voice choir, based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. It was formed in January 2006 with just twelve members but has since expanded rapidly and now has a membership of well over 70 singers! You can see from the picture galleries that we have a membership spanning all ages.

We chose the name ‘Jigsaw’ as it best describes a large number of ‘different pieces’ being put together to make a whole picture. The ‘different pieces’ are the individual members and their background, skills and talents which when assembled produce a beautiful sounding choir.

The main aim of ‘Jigsaw’ is to sing and have fun together through the medium of music, but it is significantly different from many other choirs or choral societies, in that it deliberately aims to draw most of its membership from people who have never sung in a choir before. Prospective members do not, therefore, have to be experienced or need to be able to read music.

Jigsaw Sound is also most suitable for experienced singers, in and around Shrewsbury and Shropshire, who can, in turn, use their talent and experience to help novices on the journey to choral excellence.

We know from many of our members that they were discouraged from singing at school. Other potential singers are put off joining an established choir or choral society, because they have no experience, do not read music, or are too shy. So, if this is you, why not give us a try? Harmony singers are particularly welcome!!

Jigsaw’s membership is mainly made up of people from Shrewsbury, but also now, increasingly, from other parts of Shropshire such as Church Stretton, Oswestry, Whitchurch, Wem and Telford who had never sung in a choir before but have always wanted to.

Our aim is to help people, who want to sing in a choir, achieve their wish to do just that - in a friendly and non-threatening environment. You can come to a weekly rehearsal in Shrewsbury, no strings attached, and meet us and see what we do. A warm welcome is guaranteed as well as lots of fun.

We sing a wide range of musical styles including popular songs, light sacred music, folk songs and show songs. No pressure is put on new members to attain ‘concert ready status’ within a given time – they may take as long or short a time as they as they like to attain a good standard.

Jigsaw Sound members have an active ‘social life’ in Shrewsbury and around Shropshire too, with various events for members and their partners and friends to share in. Many substantial friendships have already been made between members of Jigsaw and the whole choir seek to support each other in good times and bad.

Rehearsal evening for Jigsaw is on a Tuesday from 7.15 to 9.30pm in Shrewsbury.

The choir perform regularly in concert for charitable purposes and for worthy causes. Their fee for doing so is wholly donated to their chosen charity. This is selected annually by Jigsaw members and details of this may be found on the news page of this website.
