A '''come and sing''' event is a temporary [[choir]] ("scratch choir") that rehearses and/or performs choral music, often within a single day.

These events typically involve people who would otherwise be unable to commit to regular membership of a choir, or who wish to try choral singing for the first time. Usually the music is familiar mainstream classic works e.g. [[George Frideric Handel|Handel]]'s ''[[Messiah (Handel)|Messiah]]'', [[Gabriel Fauré|Fauré]]'s [[Requiem (Fauré)|Requiem]], [[Giuseppe Verdi|Verdi]]'s [[Requiem (Verdi)|Requiem]], though the programme may be chosen to coincide with a festival or other special occasion or time of year or day (e.g. [[Evening Prayer (Anglican)|Evensong]], [[Nine Lessons and Carols]]).
