We don’t always dress as formally as this couple of divas!  And church music is more our style than this offering from our Chicago Showtime a few years ago.  Nevertheless there is a lot of diversity in our music these days – from traditional choral music to modern evangelical songs, together with the odd Rutter now and then.

If you have been to our morning service you’ve probably noticed us – by eye or by ear – up in the choir loft.    This is where you will find us on a Sunday morning.  We meet there at 9.30am for a practice which continues until about 10.25 when we take time out for a coffee before the service starts.   At this practice we primarily rehearse items for the morning service – both that day and also for future services.  Anthems, for example, take three or four weeks to prepare depending on how difficult they are.

Whilst the church has been refurbished the choir has taken longer winter break than usual. Suitably refreshed however they have now re-commenced weekly practices with the Easter Sunday morning service as the main short term target. This will be an occasion of some celebration as we move back into our newly refurbished church and our music will match this. For future services during April and May the choir is working on a wide range of music including works by Schubert, Handel and Chilcott, as well as some new modern music from across the Atlantic. We don't have a choir concert planned for this spring or summer but that doesn't mean there won't be music in abundance - both during and outwith the Sunday morning service. Watch this space for further exciting announcements.
