St Woolos
Cathedral Choir is a traditional
boys' and men's cathedral choir numbering at present 13 choristers, five
teenage choral scholars (almost all former choristers) and four senior gentlemen.
In addition there are various supernumerary gentlemen who sing with the choir
from time to time. There is also a
training choir with a further twelve younger boys.
Christopher Denton
will be taking up the position of Assistant Organist in September 2007, and
the Organist and Master of the Choristers since January 1979 is Christopher Barton The choir has
made two CDs, tours regularly (most recently to Bangor Cathedral) and is
frequently invited to broadcast on both radio and television. |
In 2003 the
choir was honoured to sing in Canterbury Cathedral at the Enthronement of the
Most Reverend Dr Rowan Williams (formerly our diocesan bishop) as Archbishop
of Canterbury, a service which was televised worldwide. A warm welcome
awaits any prospective singers (boys over seven and gentlemen). The Organist
and Master of the Choristers (see contacts) will
be happy to answer any questions and to give further information. |
