All Saints Festival Choir

The Festival Choir was formed in 1966 at Eric Bevan's previous appointment St Mary's Church Sanderstead.

Additional singers join with the Church Choir each Autumn to prepare a concert given near to St Cecilia's day 22nd November. This honours the patron saint of music and emphasises the importance of music in worship. There are about forty singers each year and this enables us to perform works such as Requiem by Fauré, Gloria by Vivaldi, Coronation Mass by Mozart, etc.

Singers who are interested in joining should contact Eric Beven on 020 8657 7983.
