Bowdon Church Choir

Our fine Choir, which has some 40 members, exists both to lead the congregational singing and to offer music in a range of styles from medieval to modern as an integral part of worship. They sing a wide repertoire of anthems and settings from composers including Byrd, Purcell, Parry and Howells. In recent years they have sung movements from Mozart’s Coronation Mass as part of the liturgy on Easter Day, and movements from Duruflé’s Requiem through the service on All Souls’ Day.

The Choir is affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music and young members are encouraged to work for awards promoted through that body, which reflect a choristerʼs progress both musically and spiritually.

The Choir enjoys a happy social atmosphere and outings are arranged during the year which include a holiday singing for all the services in one of England’s great cathedrals for a week.
