Choir and Music
Affiliated to the Royal
School of Church Music
St John's has a small enthusiastic choir which for the last 5
years has been under the leadership of
Director of Music Simon Worley. Unfortunately Simon is leaving us due to
moving house and area. We are currently
advertising for a new organist.
We are always striving to improve our
repertoire of choral works and welcome new members of all voices, ages
and experience.
Choir Practice is held on a Friday night at 8pm in the vestry.
This page will be updated regularly with details of anthems sung or
due to be sung in the forthcoming weeks.
