What is a cathedral choir?

Cathedral choirs are small choirs usually made up of around 20-30 singers

Cathedral choirs sing at Anglican services (Eucharist, Matins, and Evensong)

The choir is open to all, regardless of religious belief

We sing a wide range of repertoire, from 1500s to the present day

 

Who we are

The musical director of The Wingrave Singers is Colin Spinks, who is a full-time musician. He is director of several choirs, including one in the City of London.

​

We are a friendly group of musicians who all share a passion for singing sacred music. We have a wide range of experience amongst us.

​

We hold six rehearsals at Wingrave Parish Church prior to any cathedral visit, plus further rehearsals over the course of each weekend away.

​

Singing in the many beautiful cathedrals across the country is a wonderful experience. You will have the opportunity to enjoy these beautiful spaces and their rich histories and acoustics.

There is something special about making music in these places.
