All are welcome to join us for this Choral Evensong service with The Choir of St Peter’s Church, Nottingham.
About the choir
There is a long-standing choral tradition at St Peter’s, developed by musicians such as Vincent Trivett (Organist, 1906-1947) and Kendrick Partington (Organist, 1957-1994). Today, the choir can be heard singing in church every Sunday, and in frequent concert performances. As well as singing at St Peter’s throughout the year, the choir often sings in churches and cathedrals across the UK and abroad. Particularly noteworthy visits of recent years have included those to Paris, Cologne, Riga, Westminster Abbey and most of the UK’s major cathedrals. The choir tackles a broad range of repertoire from plainsong and renaissance polyphony to Romantic and contemporary works from across the world. St Peter’s employs a professional musician as Organist & Director of Music, and the membership of the choir combines a number of students and recent graduates from the city’s two universities with volunteer singers from around the city and county. Though an amateur ensemble, the choir produces what the Nottingham Evening Post has termed an “outstanding standard of music-making”, thanks to the commitment and hard work of its members.
