Music at Saint Mark's
The Choir of St Mark's with former music director Jeremy Fletcher and current music director Linda Kent (front row left)
The choir
There has been a choir at St Mark’s since the opening of the church in 1855, when 'singing boys habited in surplices’ were introduced for the first time in the colony.
Practices have varied over the years, changing with tastes and liturgical styles. Since 2001, the choir has comprised trained singers, supported by choral bursaries, singing a wide repertoire that ranges from chant to contemporary music.
Led by our Director of Music, Linda Kent, the choir sings at Sunday Mass at least once a month, with members of the choir acting as cantor on other Sundays.
The Lindsay O'Neill Organ Recital
Every July, an organ recital is held at St Mark's in memory of Lindsay O'Neill, the beloved organist who inspired the project to replace our original organ with our magnificent restored Harrison & Harrison organ.
Listen to a recording of the 2019 recital by David Drury.
