Windsor welcomes All Saints’ Choir from Leamington

The St George’s Chapel Choir, the choir that usually sings during the famous castle’s daily services, has a break over August which allowed time for the Leamington choir to perform, putting on musical entertainment for locals and tourists alike.

Julian Parkin, All Saints’ choirmaster, said: “It is such a beautiful, historic, landmark place in which to sing - it really is a privilege for our choir to sing there and represent the royal town of Leamington.”

The choir performed music written by some of the country’s foremost composers across the ages, including William Byrd and Herbert Howells. A particular highlight was a performance of CHH Parry’s work, Blest pair of Sirens, which was also recently sung at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in Westminster Abbey. The choir followed the visit to Windsor Castle with a residency at Chichester Cathedral, singing the daily services.
