Chorister Auditions

SATURDAYS 6 FEBRUARY and 8 MAY 2010

Could your child be a chorister?

You will only know if you let them try.

Durham Cathedral Choir consists of 20 girl Choristers and 20 boy Choristers who sing separately alongside the 12 gentlemen of the Choir. It is run by 4 organists.
Choristers typically join the Choir between the ages of 7 and 9, and remain until the age of 13.
All Choristers attend the Chorister School, where they receive a discounted education as boarding pupils. Further means-tested financial support can be provided.
Choristers receive a first-class musical education and experience performing to the highest of standards in one of Britain's most beautiful cathedrals.
The majority of the Choir's singing takes place during the daily worship of Durham Cathedral.
However, the Choir also takes part in concerts, recordings, live broadcasts on the radio and television, and international tours.
As well as singing in the Choir the Choristers participate fully in all of the extra-curricular activities that the School offers.

Auditions for Chorister Scholarships will be held during February and May. Boys and girls aged 6 to 10 will be invited to apply.
