The
Choir of St John's is a voluntary group of around 30 mixed
S.A.T.B. voices covering a range of ages and musical backgrounds.
The Choir has a tradition of long-serving members together
with newer singers who join each year. When singing in
church, the Choir is normally split in the Anglican tradition
of Cantoris and Decani..
Rehearsals
Rehearsals take place in the church hall on Thursday evenings
from 7.30pm - 9.30pm in preparation for Sunday
services and other events. Other occasional practices
may also take place.
Social Life
Choir members enjoy a very active (optional!) social life
both in and outside the life of St John's. This includes
events such as the annual party, Christmas dinner and
'retreat' to the Cathedral of the Isles. On Thursday and
Sunday evenings, Choir members can usually be found enjoying
a post-choral drink or three in the vaults of the church
or a local hostelry.
Joining
Entry to the Choir is by audition and anyone interested
in joining should contact the
Director of Music.
