The Choirs

The Parish Choir

This is the choir which performs most frequently at Holy Trinity. It is made up mostly of adults who variously sing Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Bass. The repertoire is wide ranging and carefully chosen to compliment season and to reflect themes in the wider worship at Holy Trinity. For more information, please follow the link to see the music list for the last few months.

We are always on the lookout for new members to join us. The choir is a very welcoming and friendly group, whose aim is to enjoy their singing while attaining the very highest musical standards.

 

The Junior Choir

The Junior Choir frequently works in tandem with the Parish Choir, although there are many occasions where they perform in their own right. The age group in this choir is 8 years to 16. At the age of 16, Junior Choir members have the option to join the Parish Choir. As they are a younger group, their rehearsal and service commitment is lighter.

It should be noted that the Junior Choir only meet on the second and fourth weeks of the month. This is to enable them to be in the Junior Choir, but at the same time take advantage of the other activities going on at church and outside. Parents should be aware that if their child wishes to leave before the start of the combined practice at 7.45pm a parental note will need to be supplied.

The Taizé Choir

This is a group specifically dedicated to singing the beautiful and meditative music of Taizé. They sing a Taizé evening service three times a year. This is a relatively new venture for Holy Trinity and we would very much welcome anybody who wishes to join in. You do not need to be a member of any other choir or indeed music group at Holy Trinity to join the Taizé Choir. In fact this group provides an ideal outlet for people who feel they do not have time to commit to joining the Parish Choir or any other regularly rehearsing ensemble.

 

Rehearsals will begin in the New Year. Look out for more information on the website and in the Parish Magazine.
