The Bledlow 100 Club

		Singing the praises of Bledlow Church Choir
		Bledlow Church Choir sings regularly in the Parish Church as well as in some of our country's great cathedrals, such as York Minster, Norwich, Coventry and Salsibury, to name but a few. In 2014 it returned to York Minster, followed by the American Cathedral in Paris, and in 2015 visits included Norwich, Oxford , Winchester and Worcester cathedrals. In 2016 it visited Coventry, Guildford and Peterborough cathedrals, and in 2017 it visited St Edmundsbury and Ripon cathedrals. In 2018 it visited Canterbury, Birmingham and Durham cathedrals, and its 2019 visits were to St Paul's Cathedral, Salsibury cathedral, Southwell Minster and St Albans Cathedral. In 2020 its visits to Coventry and St Paul's Cathedrals, and the American Cathedral in Paris had to be cancelled because of Covid. We hope to resume them in 2021!.

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). Join the Bledlow 100 Club to help support the choir and be entered into a quarterly draw to win up to £300. Please read the rules and privacy notice and complete and return the application form to the organiser, Derek Stone, to whom any queries should be addressed.
