The Church Choir of St Mary's Priory Church, Abergavenny (the church is part of the Church in Wales, within the Anglican communion), consists of about 18 children and 16 adults, and has a commitment to leading the worship at the morning and evening services week by week, as well as a number of occasional special services throughout the year. The church dates back to medieval times, and contains many beautiful artefacts including the famous "Jesse Tree".
The choir rehearses on Friday evenings from 5.30 to 7.00 pm; with a weekly choral service afterwards at 7.00 pm. Each year the choir undertakes a "Singing Week" tour, which in 2022, saw us singing services in St Mary Recliffe Church, Bristol; All Saints Church, Cheltenham and Worcester Cathedral. In 2023 they were choir in residence" at Derby Cathedral for a week in August. The Music Director of the choir since June 2000 is Tim Pratt. |
