The Choir

For ease of reference, the choir is generally split between the Adults (who don't get paid) and the Junior Choir (who do get paid).
 

The primary contact for the Junior Choir is Richard Pilliner, the Choirmaster. Most queries are handled before/after rehearsals and services, but Richard can also be contacted at:  e-mail: richipill@blueyonder.co.uk


RSCM Medals

St John's Choir has been affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music since 1947. The RSCM has a medal and ribbon scheme (principally for Juniors) that reflects the individual choir members musical achievements. St John's Choir follows the 'Voice for Life' scheme and Richard Pilliner can provide further details about medals, ribbons etc, and how choristers can earn them.
