Music
Music carries the prayer of this place, from the Sunday Sung Mass to the feasts of the year.
We are fortunate to have a well-established and thriving choir, rooted in the Anglican choral tradition, that leads our musical offering and helps us encounter God in our common worship. The choir sings the Sung Mass every Sunday at 10.30am — a sung setting, hymns, a sung psalm and a communion anthem — and also sings the great festivals of the year. Choral Evensong is sung on the first Sunday of the month, save for months when a sung festival service takes its place in the evening.
Our choir is led by our Director of Music (Luca) and our Organist (Hugh), with paid choral scholars and a body of voluntary singers. Meet our musicians.
Many of our services are livestreamed and archived on our YouTube channel, where you can hear the choir and the organ. You are always welcome to come and listen in person.
