About the Girl Choristers at Winchester Cathedral:
The Friends of Winchester Cathedral are delighted to continue to sponsor the Girls’ Choir. The Friends pay for the expenses of the Girls’ Choir each year, and provide a bursary for each of the girls to learn a musical instrument.
The Friends of Winchester Cathedral look forward to coming together to hear this delightful Summer Concert.
You are welcome to join the Friends of Winchester Cathedral afterwards for refreshments in the South Aisle.
The Girls’ Choir
Founded in 1998, the Girls’ Choir is made up of 20 girls aged 12-17, all from schools in the Winchester and Hampshire area.
You can hear them singing a weekly Sunday service alongside our Lay Clerks during term time; at services and concerts at Easter and Christmas; and on tours, recordings and broadcasts. They also practice twice a week on a Wednesday and a Friday evening. Girls can audition from the age of 11, and applications can be made any time of year.
In 2023 the Girls’ Choir Open Afternoon will be held on 4 February and formal auditions, for girls in Year 7, will be held on 11 March.
