Alexandra Jones has been nominated for the Patrick Salisbury Prize for Musical Endeavour this year.
Alexandra has a beautiful voice and has worked hard on her technique this year to improve her vocal control. She is enthusiastic and committed and enjoys a very broad range of musical styles. She has even started singing in a band and will be performing at a local festival this summer.

This is the fourth year the Patrick Salisbury Prize for Musical Endeavour has been awarded. Patrick Salisbury was the founder of the All Saints’ Singers. When he stepped down from his role as president a few years ago the choir decided to show their appreciation of Patrick’s many years of service by setting up an annual award for ten years, to be given to a music student from the village. Matrix Arts Centre made a small contribution to the fund and help the choir by identifying the recipient of the award.Â
We start rehearsals on Friday 5th September at 7.15 pm in the Matrix. This gives time to collect music. Singing starts at 7:30 (our usual time) on the dot!
This term we will be singing Rutter’s Gloria and Cecilia McDowall’s A Winter’s Night in a concert on Sunday, 7th December, with Christmas carols for audience participation.

We’ve just started rehearsing Brahm’s profound and moving work, his Deutsches Requiem (German Requiem). We will be performing it on Sunday 30th March at 7:30 pm in All Saints Church, Sutton Courtenay.
Unlike traditional requiems, which are often liturgical, Brahms’ piece is a humanistic reflection on life, loss, and consolation. If you’re interesting in singing with us please contact our chairman or secretary.
Ticket sales information for the performance will be posted closer to the time.
We will be hosting another of our popular quiz nights in Sutton Courtenay Village Hall (OX14 4BB) on Saturday 26th April 2025 at 7:30 pm. There will be a cash bar and ploughman’s supper. All are welcome! Ticket information will be posted closer to the time.

Nathaniel is just about to graduate from the entire Yamaha course pathway. He has shown consistent diligence and enthusiasm throughout his final course with me – it has been a pleasure to have him in the class. I wish him the best of luck for his piano grade in October!
