For the greater glory of God

We know that, together, beautiful liturgy and musical worship are powerful ways in which people encounter God. To continue to do this, we need your support.

A history of worship

The original building and site of St Patrick’s came with an already illustrious musical heritage. Under the stewardship of Madame Teresa Cornelys (an opera singer who was born in Venice), the leading musicians of the capital played at her Assembly Rooms and singers, players and composers visiting from Europe, including JC Bach, were anxious to secure an engagement.When the building was converted into ‘St Patrick’s Chapel’, the heritage was built upon. A fine organ built by the Gray brothers was installed in 1793 and the organist and world-leading music publisher Vincent Novello was one of the first to hold the role at the new church.

Our choir

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.
