The Church of St Peter Great Berkhamsted

St Peter’s Choir participates fully in the life of the church, and supports services throughout the year:

• We sing every Sunday morning at the 9:30 Eucharist
• Once a month (second Sunday of the month) we usually sing Choral Evensong
• We also sing services at special times of the year such as  Christmas and Easter

 St Peter’s Church is committed to safeguarding and everyone who works with children undergoes the required DBS checks.

St Peter’s Choir goes on international tours, giving adults and children the opportunity to sing in the great churches and cathedrals of mainland Europe.

In recent years, tours have included trips to Venice, Barcelona and Vienna. Where will we go next….?

On 11 June we are participating in RSCM Music Sunday! The  Royal School of Church Music is celebrating the work of church musicians across the UK, and here at St Peter’s we will hold a special Come & Sing Choral Evensong. Everyone is welcome, young and old, all voice parts! Music will include glorious works from the Anglican choral repertoire – Stanford’s wonderful setting in C of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in C, and the magnificent Evening Hymn by Henry Balfour Gardiner. Please let us know if you plan to attend as we will be providing refreshments too.

St Peter’s Church choir has regular rehearsals during the week. We ask our singers to come to practice as much as possible so that we can give our best at church services.

• No choir practice during half term
• The choir is on holiday during August .

Can’t make a practice or a service? Please let the Director of Music know so that we can plan the music around the voices available.

Choir practice times:

Practice times and services can vary, especially around Christmas and Easter., so please check the choir diary (sent out by email).
