\n Centuries of musical tradition and excellence <\/h3>\n
\n\n \n
\n

Our talented Cathedral choirs and spectacular Father Willis Organ represent a musical heritage that dates back to the beginning of Salisbury Cathedral’s story. From intimate choral evensong services through to classical concerts attended by thousands, music has always filled our space.<\/p>\n

We have a number of choirs<\/a> that perform regularly at our Cathedral services, including our boy and girl choristers who attend the nearby Salisbury Cathedral School.<\/p>\n

Our historic Father Willis Organ<\/a> has accompanied worship at Salisbury Cathedral for over 140 years. Having recently completed an extensive restoration project, our Father Willis organ will continue to create musical history for generations to come.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
