Chance to try life as a chorister at Salisbury Cathedral
New voices sought for prestigious choir
After disruption due to the pandemic, Salisbury Cathedral’s chorister recruitment is getting back on track…
On Saturday 2nd October 'Be a Chorister for a Day' returns giving boys and girls in Years 2, 3 and 4 the chance to sing with current chorister and find out what life is like at the Cathedral and Cathedral School.
The day ends with a special Evensong led by the Cathedral’s Director of Music, David Halls, and performed by all the visiting children with the choristers.
David Halls, Director of Music, said:
“You don't have to play instruments or read music to book your place. This day is for children who love to sing and are natural team players. We can teach them the rest. They just need that raw talent and interest.”
Susie Lamb, Director of Music at Salisbury Cathedral School said:
“Being a chorister is a great training for musical children, as well as being loads of fun. It teaches you the skills that come with being a performer, such as discipline, time keeping and working with others. All essential life skills.”
When Be a Chorister for a Day was cancelled last year, Cathedral choristers made a virtual tour with TV presenter Alexander Armstrong.
