A free taster experience for prospective choristers.
This informal and fun afternoon is a great opportunity for girls and boys in Years 2, 3 and 4 to experience first-hand what it’s like to be a chorister at Salisbury Cathedral and to become part of the Cathedral School.
The children will rehearse and sing with current Choristers, find out about their daily routine and the type of recordings, broadcasts and tours that they get involved in. Parents and guardians are welcome too. While the children are rehearsing, they can discover what being a chorister parent entails, gather information about financial support available to prospective choristers, and ask questions about the practicalities of supporting a child who becomes part of this unique tradition.
The day ends with a special Evensong, led by the Cathedral’s Director of Music, David Halls, and performed by all the visiting children alongside the choristers.
