Choristers in St Mary’s ChoirWho is it for?
Children aged 6 or over. Where and when? The children practise together on Fridays from 6.30pm, and usually sing twice a month on Sunday mornings. Tell me more Choristers benefit from free musical tuition; learn to read music, sing well and perform regularly, while celebrating the joy of music. They can make new friends and share in the pride of achievement. Above all they have fun together. Email the Director of Music for more details. |
