Guisborough Parish Church Choir
Affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music
Director of Music:
P Richard Bendelow GRSM ARCM
Assistant Organist: Andrew Blair
St Nicholas has a long-established choral tradition and music plays a very important part in the liturgy of the church. We have a mixed SATB choir, with a treble line of boys, which leads worship at the 9:15 and 6:15 Sunday services and rehearses in church on Friday evenings.
The choir publishes a termly newsletter with full details about attendance times and what is going on musically and socially. From time to time members have the opportunity to sing in some of England’s magnificent cathedrals through successfully auditioning for membership of the RSCM Northern Cathedral Singers.
If you are interested in finding out more about opportunities to join the choir please contact Richard Bendelow Tel: 01287 634429.
