Choir Practice

Every Friday at for 1 hour, 30 mins
Venue
St Oswald's Church, Ashbourne
Address
St Oswald's Church, School Lane, Ashbourne, DE6 1AN, DE6 1AN, United Kingdom

The church has a rich and long established choral tradition which we seek to cherish and develop. Our aim is to enhance the sung worship of the church, serving to the best of our ability as a response and as an offering to God.

The choir sings on most Sundays throughout the year at the 10:30 a.m. Communion and 6:30 p.m. Evensong services, as well as special services and events. The choir also sings in at least one Cathedral each year, and has a strong social life. More than 50 people sang in the Choir last year with a strength of nearly 20 at choral communion and evensong services.

We are an enthusiastic mixed voice and mixed age group, and we love to welcome new members. We meet to rehearse every Friday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and half an hour before special services. New recruits of any voice are welcome.
