Evening choir

Our Evening Choir is led by Musical Director Paul Badley. Paul is an experienced musician. He also has huge expertise in vocal technique, choral singing and musicianship. 
The Evening Choir is a robed choir who sing challenging yet stunningly beautiful Choral music. They strive to create that ‘heavenly’ sound that helps us to worship during Evensong. Each week they sing a Magnificat and Nunc Dimitis setting, the psalm and an Anthem.

They enjoy working together to produce a blended sound and they split the rehearsals into sections with the Soprano/Treble line starting at 6:30pm, being joined by the other three lines at 7pm. The upper part then leaves at 8:30pm and the lower voices remain to work on their harmonies for a further half an hour.

Evening choristers enjoy annual tours to sing at some of our most prestigious cathedrals. They visited York Minster in 2024 and Wells Cathedral in 2023. This year they are heading off to Worcester. 

Choir members of all ages grow in confidence as they learn the music together and listen to each other’s voices in rehearsal. Lasting friendships are made which bring younger members back each holiday after they have left for university and close generation gaps.

The Evening choir has no auditions and is open to anyone who would like to develop their singing ability to the next level or who just wishes to enjoy singing sacred choral music.

If you would like to join our Evening choir you can just come along to Church any Friday evening during term times, Sopranos/Trebles at 6.30 and Alto, Tenor and Bass voices at 7pm.

Alternatively speak to Paul after  evensong any Sunday during term time or contact the Church office (01902) 576809 or stbartspenn@googlemail.com and they will arrange for him to return your call.

WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU.
