Music at St Peter'sMusic is important here at St Peter’s. We are fortunate to have an excellent organ and choirs, and an all-age orchestra that joins the all-age choir on the first Sunday of the month (often augmented by our Rector James on saxophone!). New members are always welcome.
We have several famous musicians buried in the St Peter’s Churchyard. Among these include Frederick Delius, Sir Thomas Beecham, Norman Del Mar, the Harrison sisters and Jack Brymer. A leaflet with more about the musicians is available to visitors from the church porch. The musician's window by John Hayward is one of St Peter's newer stained glass windows, commissioned and installed to commemorate St Cecilia, patron saint of musicians, and celebrates the many eminent 20th century musicians buried in the churchyard. We also have an occasional Choral Evensong, with a special Evensong service held annually at St James’ Church Titsey at the end of July. To read about history of our Organ, click here. |
