  Consider joining our church choir

Our church has a small choir that tackles a wide range of music, with an emphasis on the classics of western church literature - both Catholic and Anglican: we are equally at home in Gregorian Chant, Palestrina and Stanford. We had a busy and rewarding Holy Week and Easter 2009 - with services on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil and Easter Day. 
Some choir members attend all of these services, some manage some of them. All contributions are welcomed equally. Practices are weekly on Friday evenings.

 
As you would expect in a churches that take their liturgy seriously, there was some seriously good music as well. If this is the kind of music you like, and you feel you could make a contribution, we would love to hear from you.

Our Director of Music is Fergus Black 01733 704281.
