We also undertake occasional Cathedral visits throughout the year. As you'd expect, there's a lot of focus on the music of the English Choral Tradition, but we also explore European and American repertoire too.  

Far from professional, but good.

Enno ei gong fekk eg isen at sjå frå landet at fljota. Snjoen at bråna og fossen i å at fyssa og brjota. Graset det grøne eg enno ein gong fekk skoda med blomar; Enno eg høyrde at vårfuglen song mot sol og mot sumar. Ei gong eg sjølv i den vårlege eim, som mettar mitt auga, Ei gong eg der vil meg finna ein heim og symjande lauga. Alt det, som våren i møte meg bar og blomen, eg plukkad', Federnes åndir eg trudde det var, som dansad' og sukkad'. Derfor eg fann millom bjørkar og bar i våren ei gåta; Derfor det ljod...    less

There has been a long tradition of musical excellence at St Laurence’s. The original church, built in the 1880s, had a strong Choir of men and boys who took part in the Festival of Britain services in 1951. When the new church was opened in 1968, the musical tradition continued. A new Walker organ was installed in the church, using some pipework from the old organ and Directors of Music have included David Sanger, Professor Roger Wibberley, Paul Dewhurst, Tom Fowkes, Marcus Wibberley, Iain Simcock and Andrew Ibbotson. The current Director of Music is Huw Morgan. Girls were first admitted to the Choir some ten years ago, but the Choir remains unique in this part of south-east London in that it continues to use only trebles (girls and boys) on the top line. The lower parts are provided by volunteer adults from the local community. Young people receive an excellent musical education, and ...    less
