The Choir

The choir is professionally led by the Director of Music (sometimes known as the Master of the Song School), Dr Stephen Bullamore. He is supported by the Assistant Organist, Elizabeth Harwood, who both plays the organ and assists with the training of the young people in the choir. The music for the church is supported financially by the Thomas Magnus Foundation. This enables the choristers and “Magnus scholars” to be offered music lessons to support their learning.

The music that the choir sings encompasses a vast range of repertoire, from Gregorian chant, through Tudor verse services, Classical Mass settings and great Romantic anthems to twenty-first century music.

Choristers (School Years 2-8)
The choristers (boys and girls) rehearse in the historic Song School next to the church twice a week and sing for three services a week during term time. They are drawn from lots of different schools around Newark. In addition to their group training, many receive individual singing or instrumental lessons, partly funded by the Magnus Foundation.
