CHRIST CHURCH SOUTHGATE CHOIR
*For information on joining the choir please click here.*
The Christ Church Southgate Choir sings for the Sunday Eucharist at 10.00 a.m., the Sunday Choral Evensong at 6.30 p.m. and for holy days. The Choir is a lively group with a strong history, which - in addition to singing for worship at Christ Church Southgate – tours, records and gives non-liturgical concerts. The mixed choir is made up of 24 adult singers and up to 16 young choristers (girls and boys) aged 6+.
The Choir rehearses forthcoming music during a weekly rehearsal every Friday. Children and adults are able to work on vocal technique, tuning, stylistic approach, choral discipline and sight-reading development. The Choir takes a holiday during the week after Christmas, the week after Easter and the whole of August.
In March 2006, the Choir recorded a CD of music for Evensong, featuring Herbert Howells' Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis 'Collegium Regale'. In August 2008, the Choir sang services in Paris at the Basilica Ste-Clotilde and at Notre Dame and returned in May 2009 to sing a concert and services. We also regularly sing services at cathedrals around the country; recent trips have included Gloucester, Chelmsford and Guildford Cathedrals as well as Westminster Abbey and St Paul's Cathedral in London.
