NEXT CONCERT
Of Light and Love
On February 14th 2026, we are delighted to be back at our home base of St John's Church in Sharow - and it will be Valentine's Day. Inspired by the setting and the date, we have designed a programme of on the theme of Light and Love, and we'll be following it with the opportunity to eat a light supper together afterwards, at around 8:30pm. Add in the fantastic harp playing of Lucinda Taylor and you have all the ingredients for a romantic night out.
All this for just £20 or, if you prefer, you can come to the concert only for £15. Choir members will be doing the catering, so if you would like to eat with us then you'll need to buy your ticket in advance so that we know how many to cater for. Concert only tickets will be on sale on the door, as well as in advance. We will also be selling wine and soft drinks.
about us
- Paulinus Singers are a chamber choir based in Ripon, North Yorkshire, rehearsing at St John’s Church, Sharow.

- We learn the music in advance and come together for five rehearsals before each concert.
- The repertoire is very wide, ranging from the sixteenth century to the present day.
Thinking of joining us?
The members of the choir lead busy lives so we do not rehearse regularly each week. We learn the music in advance, and then come together for five rehearsals before each concert. Rehearsals are usually held on Tuesdays at St John’s Church, Sharow, near Ripon.
We have a friendly conductor, Shaun Turnbull, and we enjoy working together. The choir welcomes applications from singers of all voices, but we have to maintain balance between the parts and sometimes there is a waiting list. If you are a competent sight-singer, able to prepare music in advance and free on Tuesday evenings, please contact us.
