The church choir is the oldest youth movement in the world!   The Choir at Holy Trinity was formed in 1868 after the completion of the building of the church.  It has a fine record of achievements and is well known throughout the Canterbury Diocese and beyond. This high reputation has led to them being invited to sing in many places, including

• two BBC Radio Kent carol services; in the Leas Cliff Hall- with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
• several concerts with the Folkestone Choral Society and Amberley Orchestra;
• Shepway District Council's "Best of Music" concerts
• and on a bi-annual basis they are invited to sing daily services for a week at a Cathedral. These holidays usually take place in August and have included the cathedrals of Canterbury, Wells, Christ Church- Dublin, Rochester, St. Edmundsbury, Guildford, Ely, Bath Abbey, Lincoln, Lichfield and in 2010 they are booked to sing in Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford.

Is it Fun?

Singing well is good fun and the choir sings a great variety of music to a very high standard. This means that regular training is required and as you can see there is plenty to do.

The choir is much appreciated by all who hear it.

Monthly Choir Pay

The choir operates within a formal disciplined environment and all Choristers are treated as musicians rather than " kids ". Regular attendance and punctuality is expected and in return, whilst choristers are in full-time education, each receive a small amount of pocket money monthly by way of a reward (unlike other groups who charge fees for admission).

The amount paid can vary from between £ 3.00 and £ 30.00 a month and is calculated using attendance records and the level of proficiency reached. As each level is completed the pay rate increases.
Additional payments are made for weddings and other special services and events throughout the year.
