THE ROYAL SCHOOL OF CHURCH MUSIC
GUILDFORD AREA
|
The Parish Church of St Mary and St Nicholas,
Leatherhead, Surrey The Choir comprises 13 adults (SATB), but draws on other singers to augment the Choir for Evensong and other special services. We have strong ecumenical links with other churches in the town and combine with other church choirs for carol and other special services. The choir rehearses on Thursday evenings. The organs are an Allen electronic organ, and the Thomas Parker Georgian organ rebuilt in 2007 by Goetze & Gwynn. There are opportunities for concerts and recitals. The Hymn Book in use at present is Hymns Old and New 'One Church One Faith One Lord', but we plan to replace this in the near future in consultation with the new Organist and Choir Director. Remuneration is based on RSCM rates, plus fees for weddings (average 15 -20 a year) and funerals. For further information or an informal discussion, please contact the Rector, the Revd Graham Osborne, telephone 01372 372313 or email Rector@leatherheadparish.co.uk. |
