Welcome to the St. Philip Neri Singers Website

by Philip Neri in Updates

  • Would you like to join a choir which sings masses and motets by composers from 16th. century to the present day in the correct liturgical setting?

  • The full choir sings two Sundays each month and for major feast days.

  • Rehearsals are on Mondays at 6.30pm. (Tea and coffee laid on!)

  • You don’t have to be a Catholic but we are particularly interested to hear from people with good sight reading ability.

  • Contact the Director of Music, Rosemarie Darby, at the Holy Name on 07798 858900.
