UPF Choir
For those who have a music background or more training in music and performance, you might find that the UPF Choir might be a better fit for you. This choir is free to join but you must submit an application and audition as this choir offers its members more serious training both in music, vocals, and performance techniques. The UPF Choir is free but to be a member you must commit to attending 75% of rehearsals throughout the year, as well as events and performances. The choir runs from the end of September through June and meets on Wednesday nights from 7 to 10 PM. Check out their website or stop by the Universitat Pompeu Fabra for more information on how to join.

Church choirs

If you’re comfortable enough singing in Spanish or Catalan, then you could consider joining a church choir. These choirs are different than the previously mentioned ones for several reasons, mainly because the style of music is that of the church and not typically rock or jazz. Also, some churches may ask that you be a member of the church in order to be a part of the choir. This option works best for those who are looking not only to be part of a choir but to become part of a religious community as well.
