Choirs at Rochester Cathedral

There are four choirs at Rochester Cathedral. The Cathedral Choir consisting of a mixture of choristers and Lay Clerks sing at the majority of our services. Our Voluntary Choir is an auditioned amateur choir who support the Cathedral by singing at some services throughout the year. We also have our Children’s Choir which is free to join and open to all aged 7 – 13 who enjoy singing. Our newest choir is our Youth Choir for young adults aged 13-18.
