Choir

Christ Church Choir

We sing a huge range of musical styles, from Renaissance polyphony, to the baroque glories of Purcell, to Victorian favourites by Stanford and Wood and contemporary church music by composers such as John Rutter, Richard Shephard, and Philip Moore. The choir is required to sing at the 10.00 am communion service on the second to fifth Sundays of each month (August is choir holiday) and at 6.30pm services except the third Sunday of the month. 

Four times a year we sing a full choral evensong and we usually visit a cathedral at least once a year to sing evensong. Recent visits have included Bristol, Winchester and Llandaff. In 2016 we sang evensong in Merton College, Oxford and at Wells and Salisbury Cathedrals. 

We have recorded and released three CDs - Skyline Sounds, Skyline Sounds II, and Skyline Sounds III.  Please contact the parish office at the following email address if you would like to purchase a copy: [email protected]

Rehearsals are in the church on Thursday evenings between 7.30 and 9pm and for half an hour before each service.

We are a friendly choir and have various social events during the year.
