Continuing a tradition of musical excellence
at St Matthew's which stretches back over
125 years.
|
 |
Singing in the inspiring surroundings of St
Matthew's Church; performing to hundreds of
people each weekend.
|
 |
Receiving a free and first-class musical
education from professional musicians.
|
 |
Being part of an important team: St
Matthew's Choir is a group of dedicated
children and adults who enjoy singing and
socialising together.
|
 |
Brilliant opportunities: previous Choristers
from St Matthew's have won the coveted
Chorister of the Year award. The choir
regularly takes trips to sing in some of the
foremost cathedrals in the country, most
recently Bristol, Peterborough, and Ely, and
has recently undertaken its first
international tour to Germany. The choir
also sings locally with orchestras and small
ensembles.
|
 |
TV and Radio: St Matthews Choir has
performed on BBC4 and broadcast on local and
national radio in recent years.
|
 |
Making friends and having a good time:
Choristers are drawn from schools all over
Northampton. We meet together to sing, but
also enjoy other activities together
including bowling, trips to the cinema,
sports matches and day trips out of
Northampton.
|
 |
Developing important life-skills: members of
a choir need excellent self-discipline and
concentration, and singing at St Matthew's
teaches children about team work and
improves confidence. |
