Based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, St. Peter's Consort is a chamber choir, formed in 1983 by John S. North, the choir's director, to specialise in the performance of church music in both concerts and services.  The choir's Silver Jubilee is being celebrated in 2008 (see Silver Jubilee 2008).

The choir has built up a reputation for high standards of performance and interesting programmes and the repertoire has expanded to include secular items.
