Parish Choirs & Ensembles

Parish Singers

The Parish Singers is a mixed-voice auditioned choir who play a significant role in the Cathedral’s Sunday morning worship. Besides leading the congregational singing at the 9.30am Parish Eucharist they perform a wide-ranging repertoire of inspiring choral music written over the past centuries through to the present day. They sing at other Cathedral services, too.

If you would enjoy singing high-quality liturgical music in a wonderful building and can get out of bed in time on a Sunday, why not consider joining us? The fortnightly one-hour Wednesday rehearsal is led by their Director, Christopher Muhley.

Parish Junior Singers

The Parish Junior Singers is a group of young people aged 6-12. They sing lots of different styles of music and the group is open to anybody who is enthusiastic about music. They rehearse on Monday afternoons 5pm-6pm.

Parish Orchestra

The Parish Orchestra is a group of musicians of all ages that plays at the 9.30am service once a month. They rehearse on the preceding Thursday evening.
