MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE !
JOIN SAINT STEPHEN’S CHOIR !!!
Saint Stephen on-the-Cliffs has a well established choral tradition. Under the direction of Philip Berry, our talented Organist and Director of Music, the Choir’s continuing aim is to lead the musical worship in church through the good quality singing of mass and office settings, anthems and hymns.
New adult members (Over 16), are always welcome. More importantly we welcome anyone who has a love of singing and especially enjoys singing in four-part harmony or would like to learn.
Some experience of singing soprano, alto, tenor or bass would be useful but the main requirements are an ability to sing in tune and a sense of commitment to a team that plays a key role in the worship at S.Stephen’s.
The Choir has a close association with Cantantes Domino, a larger choral group, and many opportunities exist to take part in performances and singing various services.
If you would like to find out more please give Philip Berry a call on 01253 871048 or 07778 735988.

Philip delighted us with sounds from the world of theatre and excerpts from the classics. Our splendid choir, directed by Neil, sang a selection of sacred works by Schubert, Mozart, Tallis and others. They were also joined by the entertaining Beecham Choir from Rossall School. The finale featured "The Last Night at the Proms", where Anne brought the house down when she sang a truly marvellous rendition of "Rule Britannia".
