The Choir of All Saints' Church, Leamington Spa
All Saints' Choir was formed as a surpliced choir in 1842, and has a long tradition of fine choral music. In term time the Choir sings the Eucharist every Sunday morning, and Choral Evensong twice a month.
We are always pleased to hear from singers interested in joining us, and we offer choral scholarships to a very limited number of university undergraduates. The Choir's repertoire includes interesting and beautiful music from 9th to 21st centuries, and its vibrant social life culminates annually in a cathedral visit - in August 2011 it was in residence at St George's Chapel, Windsor and at Chichester Cathedral. 2012 residencies were at York Minster and Norwich Cathedral, and the Choir also sang Evensong at New College Oxford. In 2013 we visited Lichfield Cathedral to sing the services; in 2014 we went to Canterbury. Click here to listen to recordings of the choir.
