Off Centre Choir, Chichester

Welcome to the website and blog of Off Centre.
Off Centre was a choir based in Chichester, West Sussex. Unfortunately, with great sadness it was decided to close the choir in early 2019
Our Director of Music was Nicki Bennison. Nicki was the music specialist and a class teacher at Central Junior School in Chichester. In 1990 her school choir, (Central Singers), won the televised 'Sainsbury's Choir of the Year' competition. Consequently, both BBC and ITV made programmes about the choir and Nicki's methods of teaching singing.
 The Choir |
The Off Centre choir began in January 1989 under the directorship of Nicki. The primary aim of the choir was always to entertain and to sing any style - hence its' motto: "We sing anything, to anyone, anywhere (locally!)" - raising money for a wide variety of charities. For example, we sang sacred and secular, serious and light-hearted, classical and popular pieces.

Sea of Songs
April 1st 2017 will be an exciting day for Off Centre and also Selsey Lifeboat Station. There is going to be the final launch of the Selsey Lifeboat down its slipway at 11am. You may be aware that a new station is being built and the well-known, one could almost say iconic, station will be demolished along with its pier. The Selsey RNLI are planning a full day (check out the Selsey Lifeboat website) but the day culminates with a concert by Off Centre in the new station house. Not only do you get to hear us singing, but you will be able to get inside the new building. The concert is "Sea of Songs" and as you may guess, will contain a number of water related themes. The concert starts at 7pm, but I suggest you buy your tickets in advance as there is a real buzz about this concert and you may not be able to buy on the door!
