HurstGreen Singers has been in distinguished existence for over 45 years.
In 1961, the Reverend John Bickersteth of St John’s Church, HurstGreen, gathered together a group of singers to assist in a production of TS Elliot’s ‘Murder in the Cathedral’ performed by players from Oxford University.
The singers continued to meet informally, encouraged by the vicar (who later became Bishop of Bath and Wells), and so HurstGreen Singers was formed with Richard Carter as its first conductor.
