On Sunday 26 June St Matthew’s choir will be welcoming girls and boys who love to sing to find out more about what being a chorister means.

The afternoon is FREE of charge, and there will be opportunities to:

· Meet the current choristers
· Explore the church
· Play games
· Rehearse and sing a service with the choir

At the outset of the afternoon there will be a chance for parents to meet with the Director of Music, current chorister parents and other representatives of the church to find out more about the opportunities that being a chorister provides for children.
The day will end with Choral Evensong at 6.00 pm to which all are welcome.

· Social interaction with peers and adults
· Training in self-discipline and the development of self-confidence
