The Director of Music is always ready to talk to anyone who is considering joining a choir or to a parent who is keen that their child has a chance to participate in music. We are particularly looking for boys and girls aged 7 or 8 to become probationers.

If you are interested in joining the Choir as an experienced singer, or you know a boy or girl who might be interested in joining as a probationer, then we would be very pleased to hear from you.
