The Voluntary Choir The Voluntary Choir, made up of men and boys, was formed over a hundred years ago to sing for the Sunday 6.30pm service and complement the work of the Cathedral Choir. The members are drawn from all over the county (and beyond), and the boys attend a wide variety of local schools. The current Voluntary Choir datelist is here. For further information on opportunities for boys, teenagers and adults contact George Castle, Sub-Assistant Organist, at georgecastle@worcestercathedral.org.uk. Our new CD, Be thou my Vision, is now available, a beautifully recorded mix of familiar and less-familiar choral pieces drawn from the choir's extensive year-round repertoire, including a number of Christmas items. Available from the Cathedral Shop, or from one of the Cathedral music staff.  Listen to some clips from the CD:

The Junior Choirs The Junior Choirs give boys and girls aged 7 to 14 the opportunity to enjoy singing a wide range of music (not just traditional Cathedral music) led by highly experienced musicians. There are two groups, one for girls (meeting at 9.30am) and one for boys (at 10.45am). Each session lasts for an hour. The junior choirs give performances in the Cathedral and further afield. For further information contact Carol Green. Entry is open to all, with no auditions. The Chamber Choir A different but complementary choral resource is provided by the Chamber Choir of women and men, which allows singers to take part in a wider variety of concerts.  The Choir also sings occasional Cathedral services. Visiting Choirs During the school holidays our choir does not sing. During these times we sometimes have guest visiting choirs to sing. To enquire about singing as a visiting choir, contact the Chapter Secretary, Susie Arnold on 01905 732905.
