The Choir
Leominster Priory ChoirAt Leominster Priory we enjoy music, singing and a high standard of traditional choral music. We are a choir of children and adults, led by our professional Director of Music, Hilary Norris (who is also an experienced teacher). The choir sings at the Sunday morning 10.00am Parish Eucharist, and at Choral Evensong on the first Sunday of the month. We also sing at other major events throughout the year including Advent and Epiphany carol services, and for special services during Holy Week and Easter. We sing as a visiting choir in various Cathedrals once or twice a year. The Choir (socially distanced, of course!) We are now recruiting boys, girls and young people aged 7–19 to join our choir. All that is needed is a love of singing as other skills are taught while in the choir. We also welcome enquiries from experienced adult singers. What are the benefits of singing in the choir?
What are the weekly commitments? The church choir year is broadly similar to school terms, with a one week holiday after Christmas and Easter and all of August free.
