Corporate member blog: CHORALLY – a new hub for choral groups

Welcome to our new premium corporate member, CHORALLY, a dedicated online community platform that connects the world of choral and vocal music.

Founder Ian Clethero, whose musical journey began as a chorister at Ripon Cathedral at the age of eight (and continues on Sundays at the organ console at a church in Bromley), launched the project as he saw a need for a ‘go-to place’ online to make it easy for choir leaders, performing groups, singing enthusiasts, and organizations around the world to find information and network with each other.

CHORALLY, akin to LinkedIn for the choral and vocal world, offers a comprehensive range of features aimed at fostering connections and sharing resources, built around a members’ community. The platform also advocates for the sector.

Alongside local and international news, there are calendars of competitions and festivals, courses, conferences, expos, and updates about come-and-sing events.

CHORALLY also provides listings of job vacancies and opportunities, including young artist programs and awards, as well as a range of special offers and discounts.

CHORALLY’s members can get involved directly by creating profiles, networking with others around the world, and publishing their own content. Members can post on the go from their mobile phones as well as from their desktops.

To keep up to date with new content, members join the areas of CHORALLY that interest them to be notified automatically about updates. There is also a weekly ‘digest’ newsletter.

CHORALLY’s aim is to become recognized as the essential online community for choirs, groups, and singers around the world.

According to founder Ian Clethero, CHORALLY was recently coined as a verb by a choral conductor member looking for information, as in ‘Just CHORALLY it’. Hoover. Google. CHORALLY…

CHORALLY is delighted to have joined Making Music as a Premium Corporate Member. We look forward to working with the organization and supporting its many member groups.
