The Diocese of Arundel and Brighton is delighted to announce that has made two Choral Director appointments to the National Schools Singing Programme.

Speaking about the benefits of the programme Bishop Richard Moth said:
‘The scheme will provide opportunities for evangelisation, together with formation of young people in liturgical music, assisting their journey to becoming disciples in the fullest sense.’

The Diocese has appointed two talented Choral Directors, Faye Eldret and Fraser Ellson, to deliver the scheme to pupils across Sussex and Surrey.

Speaking about the launch of the programme Faye said:
‘I feel passionately about the importance of singing and music for young people and am thrilled that our work will bring the choral tradition to a wider audience.’

Fraser added:
‘The National Schools Singing Programme will help build strong relationships within the various communities of Arundel and Brighton, offering a fantastic way for schools to experience the wonderful impact of music making.’

Highlighting the exciting opportunities offered by the NSSP Julie Oldroyd, Deputy Director of the diocesan Education Service said:
‘We are delighted to be able to offer this wonderful opportunity to our young people. I am looking forward to working closely with the schools of our Diocese as the launch of the scheme approaches in September this year.’
