The Choir attracts members of all ages, led by its choirmaster, Jeff Stewart, a Professor of Music at the Royal College of Music, a conductor, and an international tenor opera singer, whose enthusiasm and inspirational style of teaching lifts it to unexpected heights! Its organist is Cynthia Hall FRCO, who has played the piano since the age of 4 and went on to learn the organ while teaching philosophy in the USA. She has held a number of organists posts, and joins the Choir for its weekly practices, often taking over when Jeff is unavailable.
