Our Choir’s

The Church Choir of English Choral Tradition

The choir is made up of approximately 20 committed singers, including 6 juniors.  The choir sings at the morning service each Sunday in addition to Choral Evensong every second Sunday evening in the month.   

Throughout the year, the choir takes part in major festivals and concerts, including the RSCM festival at Chester Cathedral and concerts at Vale Royal Abbey. In 2007 they sang Stainer’s Crucifixion. The choir provides music for weddings during the year.  

Rehearsals take place in church on Thursday evenings from 7:30pm until 9pm (juniors until 8:15pm).  We always welcome new members and are particularly looking for sopranos and altos.  

If you are interested in joining the choir you can contact the choir director, Andrew Millinchip FRCO, here.
