Joining St. Luke's Choir

The choir employs professional musicians as Director of Music and Organist, but is rare amongst London choirs in being one of the few that consists entirely of volunteer singers. The dedication and enthusiasm of everyone in the choir allows us to work with a broad and ever-expanding range of music. We often attract students that have recently graduated from university who are looking to continue singing in a choir that is similar to the one they may have just left - many of them then stay for years! Above all, we are a fun, sociable group which welcomes singers of all ages and from all walks of life.

We are dedicated to producing a wide variety of music to a high standard and therefore commitment to regular rehearsals and services is essential. The choir rehearses every Friday evening, from 7pm until 8:15pm, and then heads to the pub. Sunday services are at 10:30am and 3pm, with rehearsals immediately beforehand. The gap in between Sunday services is easily filled with a spot of lunch and we have a rota of 'choir cooks', who provide delicious Sunday lunch to hungry singers!

We are currently recruiting all voice parts, especially tenors and basses. As we do get through a great deal of music with only a small amount of rehearsal time, a reasonable level of sight reading is a must (and you will find that your sight reading improves dramatically after singing in the choir for a few months!) Please contact us for further information and to arrange an audition.

The choir awards four choral scholarships per year. These scholarships are worth £500 p.a. and are open to any student in full-time or part-time education. Successful candidates would be expected to attend all rehearsals and services during term time and are of course most welcome to continue singing in university holidays too. Please contact us for further information.
