The Parish Choir of All Saints, Fulham

The Parish Choir of All Saints Church, Fulham sings for the 10.30am Eucharist and 6pm Evensong Sunday services at the church, and is regarded as one of the best choirs of its tpe in the countr.

In addition to these sung services, the choir also sings on other occasions – from the top of the church tower on Ascension Day, at the dawn Vigil on Easter Sunday, and for numerous carol services and concerts. In recent years they have broadcast live on BBC1 (Christmas Day) and Radio 4. They also tour Britain and abroad, most recently visiting St David’s, Ely, Bur St Edmunds, Lincoln, Wells, Chichester, Ireland, Canterbur, Winchester, Durham and France among many others. They have hosted workshops with Stephen Jackson and David Hill, conducor of the Bach Choir and BBC Singers. Entr is by audition with the direcor of music; he is always keen to hear from interested singers in all voice parts.
