Services at St Michael’s are sung by an  SATB mixed, robed choir. St Michael’s has several groups of singers which combine to to sing for Sunday Mass and Feast Days, Evensong & Benediction and mid week Plainchant Vespers. Please contact clergy@stmichaelsmountdinham.org.uk if you would like a choir for a wedding, funeral or baptism.

Repertoire -  Cathedral-style, ranging from plainchant, renaissance polyphony, baroque and romantic styles, through to 20th century and contemporary settings. Plainsong propers (psalms), from the English Gradual, feature in the Anglo-Catholic music and liturgy of St Michael’s and are sung for all services. The current music list is linked further down this page.

Choir practice - Tuesdays at 19:00 and on Sundays at 10:00 before Mass at 11:00. St Michael’s welcomes guest conductors and choir trainers for special services and events.

Join us! – We welcome new singers with a good ear and sight-reading skills plus a willingness to be part of a team. Camaraderie and companionship are a feature of the choir which enjoys regular socials to the Mill on the Exe and the City Gate. Choral and organ scholarships may be awarded for exceptional musicians.

Partnerships -  St Michael’s enjoys connections with Exeter Cathedral choir and the University Chapel Choir. Members also sing with other church choirs in Devon and Dorset, including St Andrew’s Colyton and Sidmouth Parish church. In 2025, we are exploring connections with other churches dedicated to St Michael; at Shute near Axminster, at Heavitree, Exeter and at St. Michael’s Mount in Cornwall.

Outreach – Members are also affiliated with other vocal ensembles which sing Choral Evensong at Cathedrals and Abbeys across the British Isles. Members and associates of the choir also take part in Mount Dinham events which include the annual national Heritage Open Days.

Residential tours - in the last decade these have included Yorkshire, Wales, Norfolk, Dorset, Fulda (Germany) and Mineo (Sicily). St Michael’s hosted an Anglo-Belgian choral collaboration in 2014 and a choir tour to Sicily in 2024.
