Choir

We are a happy choir of around eight adults and ten juniors (aged 8 to 16), who pride ourselves in singing music to a high standard. Our repertoire covers all genres from Tallis to Goodall, early English choral to blues, and the music of contemporary composers – from Bob Chilcott to Andrew Lloyd Webber and Richard Judson.

We practise on a Friday evening, and sing every Sunday morning and for various other services during the year. We have a busy schedule of weddings, both at St Andrew's and from time to time at other churches, and occasional concerts and social evenings.

We appreciate social and creative time together too: our juniors’ trips to Nan’s, choir cake stall and a fancy dress Christmas party are regular events on our social calendar. We also enjoy singing for others and every December our carol singing raises funds for local charities.

The choir family provides the chance for both musical and personal development, and everyone looks out for each other. We love music and music-making, and we all know that singing is good for your health, mentally, physically and spiritually.

The final word goes to former Head Chorister Katie who was a regular member for ten years, and still joins us when she is back in Shifnal: "For me, the choir is another home from home. Every year brings learning, fun and friendship across all age ranges. I don't know what I would have done without it!"
