Pinner Parish Church Choir sings a full Sung Eucharist and Evensong every Sunday and every two years undertakes a choir tour at a Cathedral for a week.  Visited Cathedrals have included Bristol, Truro, Exeter, Portsmouth, Bath, Rochester, St Edmundsbury, Norwich, Peterborough and Chester.  The sopranos/trebles of the choir are young with an upper age of 18, whilst the alto, tenor and bass parts have several members who joined the choir as juniors.  Many of these youngsters have gone on to University as Choral Scholars.

In 2006 the choir released their first CD entitled Cantemus. The recording contains anthems, carols, psalms, hymns, motets of various composers, ranging from Palestrina to Rutter, Byrd to Leighton, Haydn to Stanford. It also includes a live recording of Choral Evensong at Chelmsford Cathedral, complete with organ voluntary.

At the beginning of this year the choir released their second CD entitled Music for Evensong.  All of the music on this disc was recorded live when the choir sang Choral Evensong at St Edmundsbury and Bristol Cathedrals within the last two years.

Copies of both CDs will be available for purchase during the interval.
