Who can deny the wonders being worked by our new Director of Music, Antony Pitts? In just a few months the choir has gone from strength to strength with many children now swelling the number -how lovely to hear them sing the first verse of ‘the angel Gabriel’ alone last night. But it is not just children, as we also have lots of dedicated new adult members too with a debut Cantor, Tom Davis, singing at yesterday’s Mass.
The rise in number has meant a rise in quality as Antony works his magic with singers both old and new. The result of this wonderful renaissance is that last night’s Carol service was the very best since I have been priest here (and the others have been good!). So really well done to everybody involved- it is lovely to witness the genuine buzz from everyone connected with the choir and I look forward to the coming services over Christmas. And if anyone else wants to join…there is still room. (Though we may be out of cassocks soon!!)
