Venue: St Columb's Cathedral, 17 London Street, Derry/Londonderrry, Londonderry, BT48 6RQ
St Columb's Cathedral now recruiting Boy & Girl Choristers!
St Columb's Cathedral is on the look-out for Boy & Girl Choristers!
If you have a Boy (aged 7-14) or Girl (aged 7-16) who has an interest in singing then please do get in contact. You are more than welcome to join us!
The Cathedral Choir is open to all faiths - or none! You do not need to be Church of Ireland to join the choir. Membership is FREE and you will also be given the chance to sing in a unique setting, and on various TV and Radio Broadcasts. Cathedral Choristers receive a sizeable reduction in tuition fees on their given instrument at St Columb's School of Music. We believe that, being a Cathedral Chorister enhances a fabulous musical education as well as providing a good discipline.
You do not require to have any singing experience at all - you can join the Cathedral Choir as a complete beginner.
