The Choir attracts members of all ages, led by its charismatic choirmaster, Jeff Stewart, a Professor of Music at the Royal College of Music, a conductor, and an international tenor opera singer, whose enthusiasm and inspirational style of teaching lifts it to unexpected heights! Its organist is Cynthia Hall FRCO, who has played the piano since the age of 4 and went on to learn the organ while teaching philosophy in the USA. She has held a number of organists posts, and joins the Choir for its weekly practices, often taking over when Jeff is unavailable.The Bledlow 100 Club raises funds to cover the choir's running costs such as music and the choir organist; the choir is not financially supported by the church (and c hoir members pay all their own expenses on their cathedral visits).
