Welcome to the London Gallery Quire!
We perform West Gallery Music, the hymns and psalmody heard in parish churches and nonconformist chapels during the Georgian period, from about 1700-1850. It is often vigorous, poignant, and very enjoyable to sing.
We give concerts and sing for church services. You will find
details of our upcoming events
here.
Come and hear us at our next event, which is an afternoon concert on Saturday 4th May as part of the anniversary celebrations at St Luke's Camberwell.
If you are potentially interested in singing or playing with us, visit our next rehearsal (no charge for first time) on
Wednesday 6th March at St Michael Paternoster Royal, near Cannon Street Station in London.
Here we are at St Peter & St Paul, Chaldon, in September 2023.
Two of our favourite things: eating and singing at our Epiphany Feast at Ye Olde Watling in January.
We welcome new singers and players of any acoustic orchestral or
folk instrument !
No audition required. You will need to be able to read the (fairly
simple) music. Take a look at some of our pieces that you can
download from our
Repertoire page

Sunday 2nd April was the occasion of our founder Francis Roads'
final concert as Music Director after which he handed over to
Phil Price who with some trepidation takes over the mission.
We are pleased that Francis continues to be an active member of
the Quire.
