Choir and music

The Benefice Choir

We are a mixed church choir of all ages and always warmly welcome new members. We lead the worship by singing at services on Sunday mornings and at special events for Advent, Christmas and Easter.

Practice is on Thursdays during term time from 7-8pm at St Mary’s Church, Standon

We follow the training programmes of the Royal School of Church Music and sing with other church choirs in the East Herts Church Choirs Association and at Cathedrals. A service of Choral Evensong is sung each month at St Mary's at 6pm on the fourth Sunday (except December).

Recently our choir has had the privilege of singing services in Bury St Edmunds, Winchester and Canterbury Cathedrals.
