Choir

Organist Mark DuleyThe church choir is an SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) ensemble of some fifteen adult voices from many different backgrounds and is open to anyone who has a love of choral singing and can get up early on Sunday mornings! The choir sings every week at the Parish Eucharist; its repertoire ranges from sixteenth century polyphony to Russian Orthodox chants to African freedom songs. The choir also sings Evensong for the major feasts, and at the special seasonal services such as the Advent Procession and the liturgies of the Easter Triduum.

Mark Duley is the organist of the Collegiate Church of St Nicholas. He is a New Zealander who has been living and working in Ireland since 1992, and has a busy career as a freelance organist and conductor around Ireland and abroad; he also holds the posts of Artistic Director of Pipeworks and chorusmaster to the RTÉ Philharmonic Choir, and directs his own professional chamber choir Resurgam.
