Friends of the Cathedral Choirs

Help us support the Cathedral Choristers and the Cathedral Choirs

The St Edmundsbury Cathedral Choirs work to the highest standards to provide music for the Cathedral’s services. There is no Cathedral choir school and the boys and girls attend many different schools, some travelling considerable distances to attend daily practice. The choristers are very dedicated and show tremendous commitment in addition to their school activities. The Lay Clerks are all volunteers and sing four or more services each week.
