If your parish church doesn't usually benefit from top-quality choral singing in your regular worship, The Clerkes of All Saints are waiting to hear from you.

The Clerkes is one of Yorkshire's leading liturgical chamber choirs, bringing high-quality music to parish churches in the Diocese of York. As a not-for-profit choir we fund our mission by singing at a number of weddings each year.

We are currently looking ahead to our 2019 calendar and, as well as returning to places we have sung before, we would also like to explore new venues. We love performing Evensongs and sung Eucharists in particular, and we specialise in unaccompanied music, but we're happy to work with you to adapt our music to your style of worship.

For example we can work with your existing organist and musicians or bring our own. There are usually around 15 of us in the choir, but this can vary a bit depending on our availability. We don't charge any fees for our services (apart from weddings).

We have sung at a whole range of venues from Hull and York Minsters and Carlisle Cathedral, to many of the 'normal sized' churches within the Diocese including Lastingham, Bubwith, and Holy Trinity Goodramgate recently - proof, if any were needed, that we can sing anywhere (and at any temperature)!
