Welcome from the Chairman
I do hope you will enjoy looking at the St Paul's Choir website. We meet on
Thursday evenings at St Stephen's Church Hall, Emperor's Gate from 6.30-8.30pm
and concerts take place at St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge - where our
founder Dick Latham (father of our present conductor) was the organist for
many years. We perform a wide variety of pieces from the choral repertoire and
have a lot of fun rehearsing for concerts. Richard Latham, our conductor,
sets us a high standard of musicianship mixed with his great gift for
entertainment. I have sung in the Choir for 40 years and have made many
lifelong friends. Do come and join us!

Background to this web site. Judy Vigors, who sang with the choir for
many years, initiated the site and generously covered the costs of establishing
it. The design was done professionally, and the updating and expanding is
now being carried out by a member of the choir. Simon Cock, past Chairman, has also been
much involved.
