CONGRATULATIONS to Alex, a member of the Men’s Choir, who has passed Grade 6 Singing with Merit – a splendid achievement. Well done to him and to his teacher at school.
View our offerings on ‘The Choirs of Holy Trinity Church, Cookham’ YouTube channel (search ‘Cookham Choirs’) – with our thanks to the staff at St. Joseph’s Church for allowing recording to take place in St. Elizabeth’s Church, Cookham Rise. Other recordings were made specially in Holy Trinity Church before its closure (Advent in July was a special experience!)
Holy Trinity Church Choirs
The Girls’ & Boys’ Choir, Men’s Choir and Choristers’ Mums’ Choir between them sing for the weekly 11am Parish Eucharist and for two 6.30pm services a month during term-time.
Our newest choir, Alter Chorum (for Ladies over 60), will sing for one service a month.
Specially crafted online offerings and occasional recorded ‘live’ services have become a regular feature of the choirs’ output on the ‘Cookham Churches’ YouTube channel.
Holy Trinity Church is notable for its ‘Carols by Candlelight’ held on Christmas Day since 1955. A tradition not matched anywhere else known to us. This forms part of the trilogy of carol services – for Advent, Christmas and Epiphany. With an annual Easter Carol Service and a variety of special evening services throughout the year, added to the regularity of the Sunday morning commitment, the repertoire of the choirs is extensive and varied. The choirs strive to sing to a high standard.
Services at Holy Trinity are supported by the use of the fine three-manual Walker pipe organ and a Bluthner boudoir grand piano.
