The Cathedral Choir<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Music has always played a vital role in the Daily Offices, provided by sixteen boy choristers, six Lay Vicars, the Director of Music, the Assistant Director of Music and the Organ Scholar.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1991 Salisbury took the historic step of forming another \u2018top line\u2019, bringing girl choristers into the Choral Foundation and Choir School. Today the singing duties are divided equally between the two sets of choristers, usually singing alongside the Lay Vicars of the Choir.<\/p>\n

In term-time, Evensong is sung every day with a sung Eucharist and Mattins each Sunday morning. In addition to maintaining the music for the Opus Dei, Salisbury Cathedral Choir regularly broadcasts, records music, tours<\/a> and gives concerts. Our choristers also make occasional visits to churches within the Salisbury Diocese for Diocesan Concerts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are always on the look out for young people who love to sing. You can find out more about choristerships and the chorister recruitment process via the link below.<\/p>\n
