Music shapes the rhythm of life at the Cathedral.
Choral Evensong and Eucharist are regularly sung by our choir alongside visiting choirs, creating a rich and varied programme of live singing and worship. All are welcome: to worship, to reflect, or to experience the beauty of choral music in the beauty of our Cathedral.
For more information, including the programme of music sung, please see the monthly service sheet.
July 2026
This month, there are fewer midweek choral services than usual as our Cathedral Choir takes a well-earned summer break. Make sure to join us and hear the choir in the final services of the term up to 18 July. Throughout much of the summer period, Choral Evensong will be replaced by said Evening Prayer at 4pm on weekdays (instead of the usual 5.30pm).
