We are very fortunate in having lots of musical events, orchestral and choral, that we can attend or take part in around Chipperfield. There is the flourishing Chipperfield Choral Society; there is the Watford Philharmonic Society with its first season under a new dynamic director; there is the Abbey choir at St Albans, and lots of others.
There is also another choir in Chipperfield which has developed a keen following and I am sure many would enjoy their work if they knew about it. St Paul’s Church choir, often with orchestral accompaniment, guest soloists and members of the Sarratt church choir, give performances on four Sunday evenings during the year. It is recognised that a high standard has been achieved under the leadership of Keith Beniston. Keith was for many years Director of Music at Westminster Central Hall, and is currently Chief Examiner in Music for Trinity Guildhall Examinations, Trinity College, London.
The musical evenings are usually part of the church’s year, like Christmas and Easter. The choir has sung music by Bach, Faur�, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Mozart, John Rutter and others, as well as contemporary work, including an arrangement of Spirituals.  They sang Choral Evensong as part of the Harvest Festival in September and will soon start rehearsing for the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols on Sunday 17 December.
