| St
Edward’s Church is a flourishing centre of worship in the
Anglican tradition, with weekly Sunday services of Choral Eucharist
and Choral Evensong, and daily acts of worship. For over 30 years
the Church has recognised its special ministry to musicians and
artists in the locality, and the St Edward’s Music &
Arts Centre coordinates that outreach to the community, providing
opportunities for amateurs and professionals to rehearse and perform
in an auditorium of outstanding acoustic quality. Instruments
available at the church include a three-manual pipe organ, and
a grand piano. While
most of the activities coordinated by St Edward’s Music
& Arts Centre are musical, there are also Art Exhibitions,
Poetry Readings, Dramatic Performances and Readings.
Several
local professional musicians are currently based at St Edward’s,
and many of the music groups welcome new members from the local
community. The resident professionals include:

Dite
Sara Clethero
