Choirs and Music

Explore our musical heritage

Centuries of musical tradition and excellence


Our talented Cathedral choirs and spectacular Father Willis Organ represent a musical heritage that dates back to the beginning of Salisbury Cathedral’s story. Throughout history, music has filled this space during choral Evensong services through to classical concerts attended by thousands.

We have a number of choirs that perform regularly at our Cathedral services, including our boy and girl choristers who attend the nearby Salisbury Cathedral School.

The sound of our organ has accompanied worship our Salisbury Cathedral for over 140 years. Having recently completed an extensive restoration project, our Father Willis organ will continue to create musical history for generations to come.

Our Choirs


Our choristers maintain an unbroken tradition of church music at Salisbury, which stretches back for over 700 years in the present Cathedral and for a further 200 years before that at Old Sarum.
