Cathedral Choirs

Cathedral choirs are specialized vocal ensembles based within cathedral or large church settings, primarily responsible for performing music during religious services and ceremonies. Comprising adult and often youth singers, they typically include choir stalls and dedicated rehearsal spaces. Their repertoire spans centuries, including Gregorian chants, classical compositions, and contemporary sacred music. These choirs play a vital role in enhancing worship through musical expression, fostering community, and preserving musical traditions. Their performances require disciplined training, vocal skill, and a deep understanding of liturgical context, making them essential to the spiritual and aesthetic life of the cathedral.
