Christ Church Cathedral Choristers

The original purpose of the school at its foundation in 1546 by Henry VIII was to provide choristers for the building that is both chapel of Christ Church and Cathedral of the diocese. We are privileged and proud to maintain the tradition of educating the twenty or so Cathedral Choristers who sing there most days of the week during term time and up to Christmas Day and Easter Sunday.

The opportunities afforded by a choristership are unique, unforgettable and include

• Membership of a world class choir

• Musical training of the highest quality

• Understanding of what it means to be part of a team

• The building of self-esteem and self-confidence

• Tours, both in this country and abroad, CD recordings and radio broadcasts

• The best possible preparation for music scholarships at senior schools

Worcester College Choristers

The school is also fortunate to incorporate the Choristers of Worcester College Chapel. These are day boys who follow a practice and singing regime similar to the Cathedral Choristers but with only two services weekly. For musical boys for whom the boarding option is not desired, membership of this choir confers similar benefits. We often find that boys who have come to us with no particular singing expectation go on to join the Worcester College Choir and achieve high musical standards. Voice trials are by arrangement with the Director of Music at the school. An annual bursary to defray expenses is offered by the College.
