Puzzled?!

Thank you for looking at our website!

Jigsaw Sound is a large, mixed voice, adult, choir based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. We regularly perform at concerts, weddings and fund raising events throughout the County of Shropshire and over the border into Wales. Please have a look at our diary page for details of forthcoming concerts. For the Christmas season we have a complete, separate, repertoire of Christmas Carols and Songs old and new!

The choir give all donations they receive for concert performances directly to their chosen charity – which is chosen annually by the membership in November each year – so they do not receive any monetary benefit from their appearances.

The choir’s large and varied repertoire is presented in a light-hearted way and there are opportunities for audience participation. There are some audio files on this website and you can also find us on YouTube.

If you would like to arrange a concert in support of a charity or as a fund raising event then why not consider us? You can see from just a few of the concert testimonials how we have been received! All you have to do is to telephone Angela on 01743 244195 and discuss what you need and we will do our very best to give you an enjoyable and successful concert.

For choir participation in wedding services please telephone Angela on 01743 244195 and let us know how we can help you.

The Jigsaw Way!

Jigsaw Sound was formed in Shrewsbury in January 2007 and together with Missing Pieces now has a membership of more than 80 voices. You can see from the picture galleries that we have a membership that spans all ages. Our primary aim, in both ensembles is to sing and have fun together through the medium of music. Operating as a close knit team we, therefore, have no need for a constitution, committee or rule book!

We deliberately seek to draw most of our membership from people who have never sung in a choir before and strive to make all new members feel totally at home. Prospective members are most welcome to come along to a weekly rehearsal, (free of charge!) and on a no strings attached basis, to meet us and hear what we sing.

Missing Pieces, our feeder choir, which is a non-performing ensemble, is open to all those (both with and without experience) interested in singing and having fun Jigsaw style. Membership entitles people to join in all the activities of both choirs and ultimately, if they wish, can become eligible to move up into the larger ensemble when a vacancy arises.

Many substantial friendships and in some cases marriages have been made (between members of Jigsaw) and the whole choir seek and strive to support each other through good times and bad.

Prospective members do not need to read music and can - in a friendly and non-threatening environment and at their own pace – learn to sing our musical repertoire. Our large repertoire draws from many different genres, from sacred to show tunes and classical to contemporary music.

Whilst we are Shrewsbury based, membership of the Jigsaw Sound choir is taken from all over Shropshire and includes people from Shrewsbury, Church Stretton, Craven Arms, Oswestry, Whitchurch, Much Wenlock, Wem and Telford.

Jigsaw Sound and Missing Pieces are both operated as self-funding, non-profit making organisations.
