Choir Of Winchester Cathedral
Winchester Cathedral Choir is an internationally recognized professional choir based at Winchester Cathedral at Winchester in Hampshire. The choir currently consists of 18 boy choristers, 18 girl choristers and 12 lay clerks and sings eight services weekly in the Cathedral. Additionally, 18 girl choristers typically sing one service a week as well as concerts. Sometimes the group augments their numbers when certain musical works require a greater number of voices. The boy choristers all attend The Pilgrims' School where they study singing, music theory, music history, and at least one instrument in addition to general academic studies. The choir regularly tours internationally, has produced numerous recordings, and appears often in television and radio broadcasts. The choir is currently directed by Andrew Lucas, who assumed the post in an acting capacity in 2024. The exact year in which the chorus was founded is unknown, but it is likely in the 14th century. The earliest historical document relating to the chorus dates from 1402 when a John Dyer was named as the cathedral's organist and chorus-master.
