Our main object is to offer small, rural churches the opportunity to experience cathedral-style choral evensong. Our week's summer tour visits five churches, educating both our participants and the congregations for whom we sing, in the styles and forms of Anglican choral music and achieving a high standard of worship. We encourage young singers to join us by means of scholarships and bursaries.
