Music at All Saints’
Music is a highly valued part of our worship and culture here at All Saints'. We offer opportunities to children, teenagers and adults to take part, with a programme of choral music, music education, and concerts and recitals.
Junior Choir
For children who love to sing, the Junior Choir at All Saints’ provides a fantastic opportunity to learn under the direction of a professional choir leader. Our choristers receive coaching in singing, reading music and music theory. Being part of a choir is also proven to build social, teamwork and organisational skills. We offer all this in a fun, engaging and supportive atmosphere.
Membership is open to children aged 7 and older (school year 3 and above). Older children and teenagers are very welcome too. Rehearsals take place on Fridays 5-6pm in All Saints', with Chorister Tea (squash & biscuits) available beforehand from 4:30pm for those that might like them. Our Junior Choristers will sing for services on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. The current term's choir diary is available on this page.
We are always keen to hear from the parents of children who love to sing and who might like to join our Junior Choir. If your son or daughter is seven (or older) and in Year 3 (or higher) at school, and you think that they would enjoy being part of our choir, please contact Benedict Todd, All Saints’ Director of Music to find out more.
We accept new members throughout the year, there is no charge for participation and our choristers receive free music tuition as part of their rehearsals - the perfect way to equip your musical child with skills which will give them access to enjoy a lifetime of music-making!
We have prepared an information leaflet for parents who would like to know more about what being in the choir involves, and the benefits of being a chorister at All Saints'. You can view it by clicking here.
If your child might be interested in joining our Junior Choir, please get in touch with Benedict Todd, Director of Music to find out more.
Adult Choir
We have an established adult choir that sings at our main eucharistic service, monthly choral evensongs, extra services such as our incredibly popular Nine Lessons and Carols for Christmas, and occasional weddings and funerals. The choir's repertoire encompasses ancient plainsong to contemporary pieces, and it enjoys the varied and enjoyable challenges that this wide repertoire brings. It offers a great release from the stresses and strains of life, and we aim to ensure that singers leave rehearsals and services uplifted, feeling cared for and affirmed. New members are always welcome - if this sounds appealing to you then our Director of Music would be really delighted to hear from you.
