Our main purpose is to sing choral services (particularly Prayer Book Evensong) in local churches that cannot support their own choirs. We sing between 9 and 13 services a year and, typically, one cathedral weekend a year. The membership of collaborative and experienced church musicians is keen to find someone who can lead them forward in this, the choir&#39;s 70th anniversary year.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="line-height:1.38"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">Rehearsals currently take place for 1&frac12; hours on a Thursday evening during school term times (typically about 36 rehearsals a year) in King&rsquo;s College Taunton chapel by kind permission of the Headmaster.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="line-height:1.38"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">The Choir does not often sing concerts, but may do so from time to time. </span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:11pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="font-style:italic"><span style="text-decoration:none">In Ecclesia</span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:11pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none"> is sometimes invited to sing for weddings, funerals, Christmas and other festival services.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="line-height:1.38"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">Further information about the Choir can be found at </span></span></span></span></span></span><a href="https://www.inecclesia.org.uk/" style="text-decoration:none"><span style="font-size:11pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="color:#386573"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none"><span style="text-decoration-skip-ink:none">https://www.inecclesia.org.uk/</span></span></span></span></span></span>... style="font-size:11pt; font-variant:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
