Be a Chorister for an Afternoon

About

Come for an afternoon of music fun!
Taking place on Saturday 11th November, 2:15pm-6:30pm, this free afternoon event is open to any boy in Year 3 (aged 7 or 8) who would like to learn more about life as a Chorister at Winchester Cathedral.

As part of the event, you will spend the afternoon singing with the Cathedral's Music Director, and there will also be an opportunity to visit the Organ Loft, try on a cassock and sing Evensong with the current choristers.

Parents are warmly invited to join the Cathedral Music Department for refreshments throughout the day, and to learn more about the Choristers' unique opportunities and meet the team who take great care of them at The Pilgrims' School.

Note that boys need to obtain a place at The Pilgrims' School to be a Chorister.
