Upcoming Concerts
Autumn Concert
The Paulinus Singers warmly invite you to a special a cappella concert celebrating the 250th anniversary of America. This thoughtfully curated programme explores a musical journey from the Old World to the New, bringing together masterpieces that span centuries of the choral tradition.
Highlights include the timeless beauty of Palestrina’s Missa Brevis, Britten’s radiant A Hymn to the Virgin, and Ola Gjeilo’s evocative Ubi Caritas. These works are complemented by treasured American compositions, including Copland’s Simple Gifts and Barber’s Heaven-Haven, reflecting the distinctive voice and spirit of American music.
Join us for an evening of inspiring choral singing as we celebrate a rich shared heritage through music of beauty, reflection, and joy. We look forward to welcoming you.
Christmas Carol Service
On December 15th 2026, we are delighted to have been invited back at our home base of St John's Church in Sharow to take part in the St John's annual carol service.
Join us for an evening of beautiful music, traditional carols, inspiring readings, and festive fellowship as we retell the timeless story of Christ's birth. Whether you are a regular churchgoer or not, you will find a warm welcome awaiting you.
Come and sing some of your favourite Christmas carols, listen to uplifting choral music, and take a moment away from the business of the season to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.
Bring your family, friends, and neighbours, and share in
this cherished celebration of hope, peace, and goodwill.
We look forward to welcoming you this Christmas.
