SAINT JOHN SINGERS

St John Singers was founded almost 50 years ago by John Powell MBE our Emeritus Director of Music. We are a mixed choir of some fifty voices with members coming from Salisbury and the surrounding area. The choir enjoys a varied repertoire covering sacred and secular music from the Tudor period to the present day. Our concerts have supported nearly two hundred different charities over the years, raising significant funds for them.
