Join our Choirs!
We warmly invite young people and adults who are interested in joining our choirs to contact our Director of Music Anita Jones
The Choirs of St Leonard’s Church
We have two main choirs at St Leonard’s Church – a Youth Choir and an Adult Mixed Choir.
Young people can join the Youth Choir from the age of 8. They will learn to sing a variety of hymns, anthems and settings for Eucharist & Evensong, exploring both old and new music. They are expected to sing for morning Eucharist on the first Sunday of the month and Evensong on the second & fourth Sundays of the month. In addition, there will be opportunities to sing at the major feasts in the Christian calendar and join in the diocesan singing days at the Cathedral.
Training will be based around the Royal School of Church Music Voice for Life syllabus where they will achieve ribbons according to their experience and skill as a singer.
Rehearsals are on a Wednesday evening 6:30-7:30pm.
The Adult Mixed Choir is a four part choir (Soprano, alto, tenor and bass). Everyone is welcome to come and sing with us! The choir sings a mixture of old and new hymns, anthems and settings of the Eucharist & Evensong services.
The mixed choir supports the morning Eucharist Services on the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Sundays and Evensong on the 2nd & 4th Sundays. In addition, the choir sings at the major feasts in the Christian Calendar.
Rehearsals are on a Wednesday evening 7:45-8:45pm.
