Voice Representatives

Voice Reps are your first point of contact for any queries in relation to your membership of Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus.  Unless they also hold another position they are not trustees and do not attend committee meetings. PHOTOS of Voice Reps Feb 2022

Voice Reps Role

To facilitate communication between the Music Director and trustees, and individual members, in order to ensure adherence to best practice and policies of the Chorus, or acting on specific directions.

To perform a pastoral role in making people welcome and responding informally to any questions and concerns

Specifically:

  • Members must send apologies if unable to attend a concert or a conductor’s rehearsal. Apologies should be sent to your Voice Rep, with a copy to the Membership Officer
  • Any query about your concert eligibility or special permission should go to Voice Reps
  • Voice reps may communicate or clarify Music Director or trustee decisions on auditions, uniform, return of music, seating arrangements, subs, announcements, anything arising from the Chorus Rules, or any other issues,
  • Voice reps are a channel of communication for members’ comments, feedback, complaints or ideas and suggestions
