St Peter's Choir

There is a long-standing choral tradition at St Peters, developed by men such as Vincent Trivett (Organist 1909-1947) and Kendrick Partington (Organist 1957-1994). In these days where church choirs are far and few between, we are proud to maintain a good choral tradition in a wide range of services including Matins, Evensong, Eucharist and Compline, as well as regular visits to cathedrals and other churches both in the UK and abroad.

The Choir of St Peter's in rehearsal

The choir at St Peter’s is an amateur voluntary group that produces what the Nottingham Evening Post has termed an "outstanding standard of music-making", thanks to the commitment of its members, who comprise a number of adult singers, as well as students and staff of both universities.

The Choir of St Peter's at York Minster, May 2010

As well as singing at St Peter’s and All Saints’ throughout the year, the choir often give concerts and sing services in churches and cathedrals across the UK. The first such visit was to Lichfield Cathedral during Easter Week 1969 (a visit that was repeated 40 years later, on Low Sunday 2009).  There is also a tour each summer and in recent years the choir has been to France, Belgium and Ireland. In August 2008, the choir was given the great honour of being invited to sing for three days at Westminster Abbey.

All the music sung during each term is presented in the parish music list. The musical life of St Peter’s is also considerably enriched by the regular Saturday morning 'coffee break' concerts.
