Organ & Scholarship Scheme Announcement

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Joshua Galipeau (Downsend School), Jocelyn and Zoë Bates (Rosebery School) to our new organ and choral scholarship scheme.

Jocelyn holds an organ scholarship; Zoë is a choral scholar and Joshua is combining the two awards - both singing with the choir and playing the organ. Jocelyn and Joshua have already made their debuts on the organ, accompanying hymns at the Choral VI, and Zoë has gained experience as a soloist.

It has been exciting to welcome two additional young singers to the Parish Choir - Doucya and Rowan. As new adult choir members will tell you, there is a lot to learn while you get used to the rhythm of the Book of Common Prayer, and the musical demands of singing with the Parish Choir - but all our young people are doing brilliantly, and have been made to feel extremely welcome by the choir and congregation.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they juggle the demands of their upcoming academic and music exams with their scholarship commitments. We hope that we will be able to recruit others to join them in due course so we can play an active role in training the next generation of church music leaders.
