CHOIR
The Choir of All Saints Church, Turkdean
We would be delighted to hear from people who would be keen to join our small choir and who can read music and have an interest in traditional ecclesiastical choral music and liturgy.
We audition those able to make a commitment to regular attendance at one Sunday service each month (which is immediately preceded by a rehearsal) in Turkdean in the midst of the rural Cotswolds and who would be excited to participate in mounting occasional special services, which tend to focus on English choral music of the 16th and 17th centuries.
