This fine professional heritage was the inspiration when, in 2011, we formed the professional Choir which first sang at the re-dedication of the church after that restoration. The Choir at St Patrick’s is normally a quintet, drawn from a pool of around a dozen regular members. We are fortunate – and it is rare for a parish church -to have such a choir. Members include, for example, singers who were or are still in St Paul’s Cathedral Choir, Washington National Cathedral, the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and Gentlemen of the Chapel Royal.
