A Choral Tradition
St. Peter's Church proudly maintains a choral tradition as an important part of its ministry.

St. Peter's Choir leads the music at two choral services each Sunday. This duty is carried out by a voluntary body of Choristers and Gentlemen. The boys and some of the young men attend local schools and colleges, and there is much support for the Choir from parents and friends.

In addition to its main function, the Choir is often involved in recordings and engagements outside the Parish.  CDs of the Choir are available from the church.

St Peter's Organist & Master of the Choristers is Stephen Le Prevost BA, FTCl, ARCM, LRAM, PGCE.

Born in Guernsey, Stephen attended the universities of East Anglia and Jesus College, Cambridge. He was Assistant Organist at Ely Cathedral from 1977 until 1989, and Director of Music at The King's School, Ely during the same period.  He then moved to Westminster Abbey as Assistant Organist, and was Director of Music at Westminster Abbey School from 1991-2001.  He has recorded and broadcast live and worldwide in Westminster Abbey, and participated in choir tours to Germany, France, Russia and the Ukraine.

Since leaving the Abbey, Stephen Le Prevost has been freelance, broadcasting, teaching, and conducting.  He was Director of Music for a short time at Brighton Parish Church, and was also a distinguished conductor of the Guernsey Chamber Choir, and Guernsey Choral and Orchestral Society.  In 2006, he was appointed Director of Music at Twyford School in Winchester.
