The Guild Church of St Margaret Pattens

 

The Choir

 

 

In keeping with our great musical tradition, the St Margaret Pattens Choir, is always in attendance at Choral Eucharist normally held on the first Thursday in the month. 

 

The Choir also sings at the occasional Evensong, at special Advent, Christmas and Easter services, and on special days such as Epiphany and Ascension Day; we also give the occasional concert.  

 

Joining the Choir

 

If you are a singer and would like to escape from your office at lunch time, then why not join us on Thursdays from 12.15 to 1 p.m. to sing a variety of choral music, primarily Renaissance, but see the selection below...

 

We are a small, dynamic, friendly choir with high standards, so sight reading is essential.  It is not a huge commitment, so why not try us out and give us a go!

 

For more information please contact our Organist and Choirmaster, Rupert Perkins, on 07957 461677, also at South London Music (Sheet Music Specialists); Website: http://www.slmusic.co.uk.
