The robed choir, consisting of about 18-20 adults and a similar number of children (choristers) is an open door to those who enjoy a love of singing God’s praises in fellowship with others, and are ready to serve the worship needs of the church. The members represent a wide range of people in terms of background, age and musical ability, each in their own way quietly dedicated to their role.
Rehearsals for both the adult choir and the choristers are held on Friday evenings throughout most of the year, and on Sunday mornings before the 10.00 am service. The repertoire is adventurous, and some of it specially arranged. Members can expect to sing anthems by composers of different periods and nationalities, to perform tailored arrangements of hymns and choruses, and be called upon for Weddings and other special services including civic occasions. There are additional Choral Evensongs and visits to other churches.
There are at least two social occasions in the course of a year. A choir committee takes an active role in planning the music of the church and along with its representation on the Forte Committee, is a voice to ensure that the needs of the choir are heard.
