ATB choir, both individually and combined; the Men also sing some
services on their own. In recent years' ladies have joined to sing alto

St Wilfrid Parish Church, Harrogate, Yorkshire Music is a vital and important part of life at St Wilfrid, bringing our various communities together, and enriching our liturgical worship and prayer.
We are fortunate to currently have Simon Lindley, Organist Emeritus of Leeds Minster as an interim Director of Music, while we recruit for a permanent candidate. The Director of Music at St Wilfrid’s directs the liturgical music and is responsible for the choir, musicians and organs. They are also responsible for our Music Engagement and Outreach programme in local primary schools.
