  The Choir of All Saints Margaret Street    (est. 1843) Classical Choir of Men and Boys 
Print Friendly Page 
A choir school was established at the church in 1843, which provided music for daily choral services. The choir was widely recognised for its excellence, and choristers sang at the coronations of Edward VII, George V and VI, and Elisabeth II, as well as at Victoria's Jubilees. Among its alumni was Laurence Olivier. The school closed in 1968, at which point the boy's voices were replaced by sopranos. The present-day choir maintains the exacting standards of its predecessors, and is now led by the Organist and Director of Music Paul Brough.
