MUSIC IN SERVICES
Music plays a vital part in the services at St Saviour's, and we are lucky to have a first-class team of musicians who give their time and gifts to enhance our worship.
The Parish Choir is affiliated to the RSCM and is made up of around 25 experienced singers, led by Carol Crook our Director of Music. She has worked as a Musician and Educator for the last thirty eight years and is currently Senior Lecturer in Music Education at the University of Hertfordshire.​
​
The choir rehearse on Friday evenings and sing each Sunday at the 10am service, offering a wide repertoire from the Anglican choral tradition. They occasionally sing at other churches, and play a major part in special services through the liturgical year in cluding occassional Choral Evensongs.
New members are always welcome - please contact Carol for more information and to arrange an informal audition.
