The Cathedral 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. Current Voluntary Choir datelist is here

The Cathedral 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.

Junior Choirs

The junior choirs give boys and girls aged 7 to 13 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 boys and one for girls. The junior choirs give performances in the Cathedral and further afield. Full details are available here.

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.
