The Choir has maintained a high standard of choral music for many
years in the form of a traditional Anglican choir of boys and men.
Their main duties are to sing on Sundays for the 10.30 am Sung
Mass and 6.30 pm Evensong, and to provide music for feast days and
special occasions throughout the year.
The Choir does not sing during the summer school holidays or on
the Sundays after Christmas and Easter.
They give occasional concerts and usually embark on a singing trip
to one of the great cathedrals after schools have closed at the
end of July. Members of the Choir can enjoy a week’s non-singing
holiday at Pickering in North Yorkshire the week after Easter.
Rehearsals are:
Monday 4.15pm-5.30pm Boys*.
Thursday 6.15pm-7.10pm
Boys.*
Thursday 7.15pm-8.10pm
Boys* & Men.
Thursday 8.15pm-9.15pm
Men.
*Boys
are paid up to £20 per term, depending on
attendance. (on the basis of three terms per year).
If you can sing alto, tenor or bass, or if you have a son between
the ages of 7-12 years who may be interested in the Choir, then
we should like to hear from you. For further information or to arrange
