There are up to 18 boy Choristers and up to 18 girl Choristers in Exeter Cathedral Choir, including a small number of Probationers (learner Choristers). They enjoy the most remarkable, fulfilling and rewarding musical training, alongside a broad and balanced all-round education at Exeter Cathedral School. For boys and girls who love singing, a Choristership is a very special opportunity to develop all-round musical talent in the context of service in the Cathedral.
Exeter Cathedral School was founded in the 12th century as a Choir School. To this day, we remain proud to educate the Choristers of Exeter Cathedral.
38 boys and girls (usually from Year 3 to Year 8) make up the Cathedral Choristers. They join forces with the Adults of the Choir (Lay Vicars and Choral Scholars) and sing around 8 services each week during term time, maintaining a musical and spiritual tradition that has been largely unbroken for centuries.
