The Choir

The first priority of the Choir at All Saints' Church is the enhancement of teh liturgy at both the 10:30 Service on Sundays and at special services throughout the year. It is an entirely unpaid group of adults, joined by 5 or 6 young Choral Scholars. Concrts and appearances at other Churches form an additional part of teh Choir's work. The Choir sings a wide variety of music in differing styles, from plainchant to contemporary settings of the Eucharist.

Dr. Giles Bryant is the Director of Music and Organist at All Saints'. Giles maintains an active profile in the Diocese and accross Canada as an organist, conductor and lecturer.

For more information contact Director of Music Dr. Giles Bryant through the church office at 705-876-1501.

Choral Scholarships

The Choral Scholar programme, supported by the Heritage Trust, provide a very valuable outreach to the community by offering bursaries to young people in exchange for their conributing of their talents to the service of the church. These young people not infrequently stay with All Saints' after their scholarship period.

Choral Scholarships are offered to high school students who, after passing an audition, are admitted to the Senior Choir. Four or five of these are offered each year. The recipients are young people committed to singing and with a fair background in music. Their activities are under the close supervision of Christine Van der Bank and Dr. Giles Bryant. At the conclusion of the school year each scholar receives a scholarship in support of further studies. For more information contact Christine VanderBank at (705) 292-5357 or Dr. Bryant at (705) 924 - 2051.

We are pleased to welcome other choirs to All Saints'. Below are images of the Bradford Catherdral Choir during their visit in 2005.
