ROCHESTER CATHEDRAL
VOLUNTARY CHOIR

There are sometimes vacancies in this mixed adult choir for singers aged 16 and over. (This minimum age limit may sometimes be waived for ex-choristers who wish to continue singing in the Cathedral.) At the moment we need Basses (particularly 2nd Basses with a good low register).

Applicants should be good sight-readers, preferably with previous experience of Anglican church music, and prepared to commit to attending the majority of scheduled choir dates during the year (exceptions to this rule are sometimes negotiable, depending on your personal circumstances; please ask).

Former boy and girl choristers, choral scholars, lay clerks, etc, are particularly welcome, as well as others wishing to gain more experience of this repertoire.

All successful applicants aged 18 and over will be required to obtain CRB clearance before taking up their place in the choir.

The choir maintains a varied schedule of services in the cathedral throughout the year, but there is no commitment to regular weekly rehearsals.

In addition to our duties in the cathedral there are concerts and services elsewhere in the Diocese and beyond, and foreign tours (three to the USA and four to Germany already); our fourth tour to the States is scheduled for April 2010.

For more information about the choir, or to arrange an audition, please contact the choir’s Director, Douglas Henn-Macrae:
