The Southwark Cathedral Girls' Choir
As part of the Millennium Project, marking the year 2000, Southwark Cathedral Girls’ Choir was formed to enrich the Cathedral’s musical heritage and to offer the same opportunity for musical, spiritual and social development which the boys have enjoyed for so long.
There are 27 girl choristers of which 6 are probationers who range in age from 9 to 17, and represent fifteen day schools across London. Not only does the Choir provide a unique musical education (spanning music from plainsong to the present day) for girls as well as boys, it also enables the Cathedral to have choral services more regularly and so continue to minister in a unique way to the people of south London. During term time the Girls’ Choir rehearses twice a week and sings regularly at Evensong in the Choir and at the Sunday services once a term. They are joined by the Cathedral Lay-Clerks on Mondays and Thursdays, sing at the Consecrations of Bishops, Eucharists and special Diocesan services.
The Choir has toured Norway and the Czech Republic, and performed in Rouen, Rome, Belfast, Paris and Krakow as well as making recordings which have received excellent reviews.
Income generated from ticket sales for this concert will help support the Cathedral Music department with it's continuing musical education and outreach.
