About this artist
British choir from Rochester, Kent.
The Cathedral Choir is made up of three parts: Boy Choristers, Girl Choristers and the Lay Clerks.
•The boys sing the majority of the Cathedral's choral services during term and are all educated at King's Rochester Preparatory School.
•The Girls' Choir was founded in 1995 and was one of the first girls' choirs to be introduced in an English Cathedral. The girls attend a variety of local and county schools, including King's School and sing regularly in the weekly schedule.
•The Lay Clerks provide the alto, tenor and bass parts to the chorister treble line and are professional singers drawn from throughout Medway, Kent and even further afield. They include three choral scholars who are a recent addition to the music foundation of the Cathedral.
For the weekly round of eight choral services, the boys or the girls sing with six Lay Clerks; however, sometimes, for great Cathedral occasions, all three parts of the choir come together.
