Lay clerks
In Summer 2025, St. Peter’s is establishing eight paid lay clerkships. We intend to appoint two sopranos, two altos/counter-tenors, two tenors, and two basses. This is an exciting new opportunity for accomplished singers to sing a wide range of choral repertoire at a high standard to enhance the worshipping life of the church.
The lay clerks will normally sing either alone as an SATB octet, or as lower voices (ATB) with the choristers. Successful candidates will be experienced, trained singers, able to contribute to the ensemble and as soloists in a wide range of musical styles. While good sight-reading is an important requirement, lay clerks will be expected to have prepared the repertoire in advance of each service.
The lay clerks will normally sing on Sunday mornings three times a month:
Sundays as required | 9.00 to 9.45am rehearsal |
10.00 to 11.00am Sung Eucharist | |
Other times | Concerts, tours, other events as agreed |
The deadline for applications has now passed. If you are interested in future opportunities, or would like to be considered as a deputy, please contact the Director of Music.
