NIGEL SHORT – Artistic Director
Nigel ShortGrowing up in the Midlands (UK) Nigel began his musical life as a chorister at Solihull Parish Church going on to study singing and piano at the Royal College of Music in London. As a young counter-tenor he was soon working with various opera companies, was in demand as an oratorio and early music soloist, sang at Westminster Cathedral, with the Tallis Scholars and various other specialist choral groups.
In 1993, Nigel joined the world-renowned vocal ensemble the King’s Singers.  After a short break in the Swiss Alps In 2001, Nigel set up his own professional choir, Tenebrae, which has now performed in many of the world’s most prestigious music festivals. USA, Bermuda, Spain, Switzerland, France, Germany and the UK are countries where the group is particularly renowned, and the list of destinations continues to grow. The group is frequently heard on Classic fm and BBC Radio 3.
More recently, Nigel has been Director of Music at St Bartholomew the Great, London. He has co-produced Tenebrae’s own CDs (on the Signum Records label) and has been an occasional chorus-master for the London Symphony Chorus and the Royal College of Music Chorus.

For visiting on Sundays

We have three services:

Though varying in style and types of worship, each helps us to explore and understand the love of God and what that means to our lives.

Over summer holiday periods and at special times, like Easter, Harvest and Christmas, we often change our Sunday services to bring the two main morning congregations (9.30am and 11.15am) together at 10.30am.

Please check our Church calendar to know our service timings.
