Every Sunday at 8am.
The choir at St Luke's is a young and friendly group, who put just as much enthusiasm into socialising as singing! We are the perfect choice for anyone who has sung in cathedral or chapel choirs at university and wishes to continue singing to a high standard when they leave and move to London. We regularly recruit for all voice parts. Choral scholarships are also available. Please see our page on joining the choir for more information http://www.vinumbonum.org.uk/joining.php
