Today [June 28] saw the first occasion in which Their Majesties Choristers sang in public, with the enthusiastic group of young singers — all from St George’s Parish and under the leadership of the Choirmaster Martin Pastor — performing at the historic St Peter’s Church.

Today’s service programme said, “Mr. Pastor came to Bermuda last September as the new music teacher at Clearwater Middle School and has extensive training and experience with children’s choirs.

“We are also delighted to announce that the Governor of Bermuda, His Excellency Mr. George Fergusson and Mrs. Fergusson have accepted the invitation of St Peter’s Vestry to be Honorary Patrons to Their Majesties Choristers.

“It is also a joy to have with us for this special occasion, the Rt Rev’d Nicholas Dill, Lord Bishop of Bermuda, a stalwart supporter of Their Majesties Choristers.

“The Organizing Committee for Their Majesties Choristers consists of Marjorie Pettit, Grace Rawlins, Sharon Jacobs, Michelle Simmons, Philip Spencer and the Incumbent.

“We acknowledge with sincere gratitude the magnanimous assistance of Mr Roger Michel, without whose support Their Majesties Choristers would not be happening.”
