Music at St John's

St John's is very fortunate to have an excellent choir and organ, both of which are central to the life of the Parish.

You can hear the choir and organ of St John's every Sunday in the services at 10.30am and 6.30pm and every other Wednesday at 5.30pm. You can find Music Lists here, more information about the choir here, and more information about the organ here.

We are currently looking to recruit an organ scholar for the academic year 2024-2025. Further details can be found here.
