The St Ternan’s choir offers music on Sunday mornings for the 11 o’clock service, and at Evensongs the first Sunday of the month. In addition, they are called upon to support other church-related events on Deeside and around the Diocese. Highlights to the year include the Diocesan Choral Festival in the spring, which gathers singers from around the United Diocese of Aberdeen & Orkney, and our own Advent Lessons & Carols Service, which is also supported by the choir of Christ Church, Kincardine O’Neil.
