Music
Choir of St Saviour's Church, Pimlico
​
Music is a vital part of the worship and culture of St Saviour’s, Pimlico. From the Sunday 10.30am Sung Mass, to our services of Choral Evensong and Benediction, to the weekly Pimlico Lunchtime Concerts, both sacred and secular music enriches the spiritual and cultural lives of our congregation and visitors.
The Choir of St Saviour's is comprised of four paid choral scholars (SATB), four Junior Choral Scholars (6th Form Students) and a number of highly valued volunteers.
​
If you have a background in choral singing and are looking for a good quality, flexible, and sociable choir to join on Sunday mornings, and for occasional evening services, St Saviour's could be perfect for you. Get in touch with the Director of Music, Yvette Murphy (music@stsp.org.uk) for more information.
​
Former choir members include the actor and director Laurence Olivier.
