The Cathedral Singers of Christ Church is the mixed-voice choir of Christ Church Cathedral, and one of the most active choirs of its type in the country. Its main role is to maintain the Cathedral’s daily pattern of sung worship at times when the Cathedral Choir is away or on vacation. This amounts to over a hundred sung services a year. Directed by its own professional staff of Director and Organist, the choir comprises talented volunteer musicians from the local area, from young professionals to professorial fellows. Its repertoire spans from Renaissance polyphony to new music.

In addition to its liturgical duties, the choir’s activities extend to concerts, tours, workshops, and visits to sing services at other UK cathedrals. The choir also has an educational role, sponsoring Sixth Form Choral Scholarships, and participating in Faculty of Music examinations for the University. In July 2018 the choir celebrated its 40th anniversary.

CD recording

We're excited to announce that we will be making the first recording of sacred music written by Henry Aldrich, who was Dean of Christ Church in the late seventeenth century. Watch this space for further details!

February Half Term

For our most recent session, we challenged ourselves to programme a week's worth of music mostly composed by women, with the hope of introducing more diversity into our repertoire. See our recent tweets for more details!

We always welcome enquiries from prospective new members, who should be reasonably confident singers and competent readers of music. To arrange to come and sing a 'try-out' service, get in touch using the CONTACT page.
