St Peter's Choir on tour

From 30th July to 5th August, St Peter's Choir toured Peterborough Cathedral, singing eight services in six days, and performing a wide range of music stretching from the sixteenth century Christopher Tye's "I will exalt thee", to Malcolm Archer's "Wells Service", written seven years ago.

In the course of the week, they were accompanied on the organ by former choirmasters Peter Clements and Kit Perona-Wright.

However the week was not all about singing; the choir also went on various trips, including the Peterborough Ghost Walk, 10 pin bowling, and a visit to the reconstructed Bronze Age settlement at Flag Fen.

Next year, St Peter's Choir will sing Evensong at Rochester Cathedral on March 15th, Mass at Westminster Cathedral on May 17th, and their choir holiday will be to Wells Cathedral. The choir is always looking for new recruits, both men and children.

There is also one choral scholarship, worth 300 per year, still to be awarded (these are for young singers aged between 13 and 17). Any enquiries should be made to the Director of Music, Peter Dutton ([email protected]).
