Poscimur - About us

poscimur

POSCIMUR (meaning "we are called .....") was formed in 1991 with the specific aim of singing services in cathedrals. Since its inception the choir has sung in more than thirty of the English Cathedrals - several times in most of them. Although the choir is essentially based in South East London and practises there regularly, members are drawn from across the country, learning the music in their own time. The choir, affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music, sings at approximately ten venues annually. It does not receive any grants or financial assistance and holds one fund-raising event each year.

Director of Music

Cathie Shore studied at the Royal College of Music and at the University of London Institute of Education. She has been organist of a number of churches in the London and North Kent area and has recently retired after many years teaching music in schools, latterly as Head of Department.

She continues to be active as a private teacher of organ/piano and voice and as an educational consultant running courses for teachers. She is a chief/principal examiner for GCSE music and also an examiner for Trinity College London Grades & Diplomas and for RSCM National Awards

The choir uses a number of different organists, according to availability. For more information, please click here.

The Choir

We currently has a total of over 50 members drawn from all over the UK.

All members have been or still are choristers in Church or Cathedral choirs. We sing Anglican Church music chosen from an extensive repertoire covering composers from the 16th to the 21st centuries.

Whilst we aim to achieve very high standards in what we sing and how we behave we also like to let our hair down from time to time and have some fun!

If this sounds like something you’d like to be involved in then please get in touch.
