Organ Scholarship

Becoming an Organ Scholar


The Organ Scholarship at Salisbury Cathedral is an ideal opportunity for a gap-year or postgraduate student to experience all aspects of cathedral music in a unique setting. The Organ Scholar works closely with David Halls and John Challenger, and works very regularly with the Cathedral Choir as an organ accompanist, and with the choristers in rehearsal. There are also conducting opportunities. Salisbury boasts an extensive line of former Organ Scholars, many of whom are now distinguished cathedral musicians.

David Halls, Director of Music, welcomes enquiries from potential Organ Scholars, and is available at any time to discuss at further length what the position involves. He can be contacted on 01722 555125, or at d.halls@salcath.co.uk.

Closing Date: 19th September 2023

Audition Date: 3rd October 2023
