Music & Choir

Singing has been part of the history of St David’s since its earliest days.

In 1837 there was an advert for membership of a choir of 4 boys or girls, the first pipe organ in an Australian Church having been installed in 1825. From this rudimentary start the choir remains a fundamental part of Cathedral worship 187 years later.

Under the direction of Thomas Rimes with a repertoire ranging from the 16^th Century to pieces specially written for St Davids, the choir continues to lift hearts and minds of all who hear them.

Director of Music – Thomas Rimes
Organists – Rod Thomson, Peter Warren & Margaret Sallis

Friends of St David's

SUPPORTING THE MINISTRY AND COMMUNITY LIFE OF THE CATHEDRAL

The Friends have a time-honoured tradition of working together to raise funds for the Cathedral, and have done so in one form or another for many decades.

Funds raised by the Friends currently helps to support St David’s Music Ministry and provide items such as the Cathedral’s communion elements, flowers, candles and Children’s Bibles.

The main event on the Friend’s annual calendar is the Floral Festival in February: Blooming Church – a celebration of community, creativity, flowers and music.

The Bells of St David's

The Bells of St David’s are rung every Sunday morning prior to the 10am service (9:15am to 9:55am).

The Bellringers practice each Monday evening from 7:30pm to 9pm.

Bells are also rung for weddings and other church and civic occasions on request.

The bells are designed to be swung through a full circle in the English tradition, which allows the ringers to practise the art of change ringing.
