Sheffield Cathedral is seeking children to join the after-school Cathedral Voices programme.

Sheffield Cathedral is looking for children who would like to become a chorister who aged seven and up to join our after-school Cathedral Voices programme. Children will rehearse on Tuesdays and Sundays, with optional sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays for those who want to get the most out of our training.

Our programme offers free singing lessons, music theory training, and a hot meal. Choristers will sing regularly alongside our professional adult singers as well as perform on their own during the week.

Participants will also be paid for their attendance.

Singing is at the heart of our worshipping life and ministry, and our Schools Singing Programme supports excellent classroom-based music teaching as well as after-school choirs. Three of our partner schools are nominated Choir Schools, including: Prince Edward Primary School, Parson Cross CE Primary School, and Porter Croft CE Primary School. However, kids who love music from across the region are welcome to join too!

As we grow, we will be offering even more opportunities for children and we would love to see them coming back to join our ranks as Choral Scholars when they eventually leave school.

Our Music Director, Tom Daggett, would be delighted to have an informal conversation with any families who are interested in this opportunity.
