The Choir
"I will sing with the spirit and understanding also"
Who we are...
The history of St. George's Parish Church Choir traces back to the 1800s, when the church itself stood as a beacon of faith and community in the heart of New Mills, as it sill does to this day. As the congregation grew, so did the desire to elevate their worship experience through the power of music.
Generations of families have passed through the choir's ranks, with parents passing down their love for music and faith to their children and grandchildren. The sense of teamwork within the choir has always been at the forefront, with members forging deep friendships and bonds that extend far beyond their shared passion for singing.
The choir sing at the weekly Sung Parish Eucharist every Sunday and also at special services, events and festivals throughout the year.

How to get in touch with us...
On Sunday 23rd June 2024, four members of our choir attended the Derby Diocese Choral Festival at St. Mary's and All Saints Parish Church in Chesterfield (The Crooked Spire).
The choir was made up of around 130 choristers from parish church choirs from around the Derby Diocese.
Music included Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in C (C.V.Stanford) and O How Glorious (Bairstow).
The choir was directed by Alexander Binns - Director of Music at Derby Cathedral and the organ was played by Peter Shepherd - Organist and Choir Director of All Saints Parish Church in Chesterfield.
A great day was had by all and we really look forward to taking part in next years festival.
