Music and Musicians at Christ Church

The Director of Music at Christ Church is Ronald Cayless, Licentiate of Trinity College London and Honorary Fellow and Treasurer of the Guild of Church Musicians.

The choir consists of some 24 singers drawn from the congregation, who perform twice monthly at Sunday Morning Eucharist and also Choral Evensong Services in May and November. In addition, we offer varied and various programmes of music for Palm Sunday, Advent & Christmas Carol Services and two concerts per year. The current repertoire includes music from the Tudor period through to the present day. We run two choirs - The Training Choir for boys and girls aged 8 to 11 and The Full Choir for age 12 years and upwards, but we are anxious to increase our numbers, especially younger people.

Choir practices take place in Church on Fridays as follows: Training Choir (9 to 11 years of age) 6.30-7.00 p.m. followed by the Full Choir 7.30-8.30 p.m.

On Sundays when the choir is singing there is a practice at 9.00 a.m. prior to the Eucharist at 10.00 a.m.

We always welcome new singers and, if you or members of your family are interested in joining either of our choirs, please contact Ronald Cayless as follows-

There is also something of a tradition at Christ Church of respect for and involvement in
music & the ecclesial visual arts. Below are links, which reflect this interest.
