Old Brutonians sing with our Director of Music at Wells Cathedral

Old Brutonians sing as the Kingsbury Singers, directed by our Director of Music at Wells Cathedral.

I direct a choir called the Kingsbury Singers who usually meet one or twice a year during the school holidays to sing a weekend of services in cathedrals; the members form a network of singers from across the country. Since becoming Director of the Kingsbury Singers, I have encouraged Old Brutonians to join the mailing list. Several of them have taken part in residencies, most recently to Wells Cathedral on Sunday 6^th June to sing two services: a Choral Eucharist and Choral Evensong to commemorate the founding of the Royal British Legion in Somerset.

It was wonderful to on this occasion to welcome Old Brutonians: Tom Hudson, Alex Hutton, Abagael Hyde, Eleanor Little, Charlotte Mansergh and Sam Young, some of whom have studied music at university or conservatoire, or worked as a choral scholar and now sing professionally or semi-professionally. It was an unusual visit as the choir numbered a maximum of 18 singers who were, of course, required to be socially distanced, but they sang superbly well, as commented on by several members of the Cathedral clergy.
