The first choir at St Mary's, Warwick, was formed in 1123 when the church was established as a collegiate foundation. Today, St Mary's Collegiate Church is known for its beautiful architecture and long tradition of musical excellence. The choirs sing at services throughout the week during term time. The boys and men can be heard in the morning and evening on Sundays, the girls at Evensong on Wednesdays and the men every Friday evening. There are also additional choral
services for major festivals and civic occasions. The choristers attend a variety of local schools, and the gentlemen of the choir are committed volunteers who live and work in the surrounding area. Membership of the choir is free. Choral Scholarships are available to boys at Warwick School.
The choirs of St Mary's Collegiate Church give frequent concerts and have performed in the USA, Canada and across Europe. They have recently featured on BBC 1 Television, BBC Radio 2 and 3 and live on BBC Radio 4 and have made many recordings, including the recently released Gaudeamus omnes celebrating Warwick's 1100th anniversary.
