Choir
The Choir of St Mary and St Eanswythe is a small group of friendly, dedicated singers that lead the worship at the main 10.30 service on Sundays as well as other important festivals. Our repertoire ranges from plainsong to music by contemporary composers. We lead the singing of hymns and service settings and sing a Psalm and an anthem or motet. We also take part in other civic services throughout the year as well as cultural events like the Sacconi Festival.
Join Our Choir – New Voices Welcome!
Do you enjoy singing and have always wanted to give it a try? We are a friendly, welcoming choir and are always pleased to invite new members to join us.
We sing every Sunday as part of the church’s worship, performing a wide range of music and enjoying both the musical and social sides of choir life. Singing together is a rewarding way to support our services while being part of a supportive and sociable group.
We rehearse each Sunday at
9.30am, before the
10.30am Eucharist. If you’re interested in joining the choir please have a chat with James Brown, our Director of Music, after a service, or contact him on
sa*****************@***il.com for more information.
Organ
We are fortunate to have a very fine organ at St Mary & St Eanswythe’s. It is unusual in that it is little changed since the 1930s.
The organ specification is recorded on the National Pipe Organ Register.
Organist and Choir Director
Our Director of Music is James Brown: sa*****************@***il.com
