The choir at All Saints has an important role in leading the singing and worship. A friendly group of people who love singing, and new members are always welcome. There is no need to audition, just the ability to sing in tune. In the weekly rehearsals a wide variety of repertoire is covered, and helpful support is given with singing technique. The choir rehearses most Wednesday evenings in the church from 7pm to 8pm. There is also a short rehearsal on the Sunday morning at 9.15am, preceding the 10am service.
If you are interested in joining have a chat with one of our Directors of Music (Emma and Ben), or drop them an email at: email@allsaintstooting.org.uk
