Music News

We were pleased to announce last weekend that Nigel Warning has accepted the invitation to be the Assistant Director of Music in Attleborough. Nigel is no stranger to us; he has previously sung with the choir, as well as accompanying and conducting on occasion. Nigel will be with us from 22nd September and will join us two Sundays a month. Our Director of Music, Ben Miller, will also be supported by a team of Assistant Organists.

Choir Weekend to Peterborough

The Choir had an excellent weekend singing at Peterborough Cathedral. They sang at four services; Evensong on Saturday and then Choral Matins, Eucharist and Evensong on Sunday. There was lots of singing (including Choir Practice at 8.15am on Sunday!), lots of fun and the odd glass of wine. Everyone was tired by the time the coach dropped us back at St Mary's on Sunday Evening but everyone agreed it had been an excellent weekend. 

As you'll see the music list was extensive:

Saturday 31 August
