  St. Edmundsbury Cathedral Choir Classical Choir of Men and Boys 
Print Friendly Page 
St. Edmundsbury Cathedral Choir St Edmundsbury Cathedral Choir is a voluntary organisation working to the highest standards to provide music for the worship in St Edmundsbury Cathedral, the mother church of the diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich in the county of Suffolk. Ours is a fairly young cathedral (the diocese was created in 1914): thus there is no cathedral choir school – the boys attend many different local primary and middle schools, and some travel considerable distances each day to attend.

The full choir of 22 boys and 10 men sings four services a week, while the boys sing an extra one each week on their own and rehearse most mornings before school. On top of this considerable commitment, the Cathedral Choir also provides music for special civic and diocesan events, termly visits to parishes in the diocese, and occasional concerts. The choir broadcasts regularly both live and recorded on BBC radio, and in 1999 produced a CD entitled 'Advent to Candlemass' and in 2001 'Godspeed', which includes not only many universally popular pieces of choral music, but also two items peculiar to the Cathedral Choir. The choir undertakes a foreign tour every two years; previous destinations include Hungary and France.
