 One
of few English parish churches still to preserve the all-male singing
tradition, music plays a major part in the worshipping and spiritual life
of St Thomas' Church, Stourbridge.
Based in the West Midlands town of
Stourbridge, the Georgian
Church of St Thomas stands prominently in the town centre. Both architecturally and acoustically, it is a
superb home for an accomplished choir with ambitious plans for the future
- and for a thriving concert series. You
can find out more about the church itself by visiting the church
website.
Thanks to the considerable support of the church's clergy and
congregation, St Thomas' Church is able to sustain a fine music
department, supporting worship chorally on most Sundays of the year and
for major festivals. The choir also sings further afield for cathedral
visits and concert appearances.
The loyal and friendly congregation has, in recent years, raised over
£400,000 towards a major restoration of the church building. The appeal
incorporates plans for a complete overhaul of the organ, to bring it up to
a high standard for the many recitals that take place each year, and for
more effective liturgical accompaniment.
St Thomas' is, above all, a welcoming place - whether you are interested in joining
the choir, supporting our work through fund-raising, or attending a
concert or service, please do get in touch.
