  The Choir


 

The Choir with Choirmaster Ed Short

Our choir consists of about 25 adult singers:  sopranos,  altos,  tenors and basses.

We practise every Thursday in the Parish Church, 7.00pm - 9.00p.m. and have a wide repertoire of Christian music, ranging from mediaeval to modern. 

We sing at every Sunday evening service at 6.00p.m., 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th Sundays being Common Worship Choral Evensong and 4th Sundays Choral Communion. 

We also sing at occasional civic services (e.g. Remembrance Sunday) and at weddings (about 20 a year). 

The choir is affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music  and many members attend R.S.C.M. workshops and other events, such as the Diocesan Choirs Festival held each June at Durham Cathedral.  

The choir's music and robes are funded by popular events such as coffee mornings (held regularly throughout the year) and the Parochial Church Council subsidizes the choir whenever necessary. 

Our choir works well musically and socially. 
Each year our choir enjoys at least two informal social evenings together. 

New members are welcome.
