Membership of the St Nicolas Church (robed) Choir is open to all singers of all ages. There are no auditions, although an ability to read (or learn to read) music is desirable, plus the commitment to regularly attend weekly choir practice and at least one Sunday service.
Choir Practice is held on Friday Evenings. Extra practices are held for special services, for example, prior to Choral Evensong on the third Sunday of the month, and at Christmas and Easter.
The Church Choir is affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) and train for various ribbons and awards. Several members, both juniors and seniors, have gained the Bishop's Choristers Award signified by a green (junior) and purple (adult) ribbons. Some of choristers are members of the Southern Cathedral Singers. For those unable to make a regular weekly commitment, why not consider membership of the Open Choir which augments the Robed Choir on special occasions? Do you want to know more? Contact us now... |
