Rochester Cathedral Choir is an esteemed choral ensemble that originates from within the walls of the historic Rochester Cathedral in Rochester, Kent, England. Rooted in a tradition that stretches back to the foundation of the cathedral in AD 604, the choir is comprised of talented boy choristers and lay clerics who perform during cathedral services and concerts, upholding a rich musical heritage. Under the direction of skilled conductors and music directors, the choir has not only contributed to the worship experience within the cathedral but has also achieved acclaim through performances, recordings, and broadcasts, becoming a beacon of English choral music.

The choir's discography reflects an unwavering dedication to both British choral works and pieces drawn from the wider Anglican repertoire. Their recent releases include "The Choral Music of Percy Whitlock," which showcases the evocative and melodic compositions of the early 20th-century British composer. "Sing High, Sing Low" presents a collection of sacred pieces performed with the choir's customary clarity and expressiveness. The Rochester Cathedral Choir's contributions to the ongoing series "Magnificat & Nunc dimittis, Vol. 6," "Te Deum & Jubilate, Vol. 1," and "Psalms of David, Vol. 9: Hear My Voice O God" further accentuate their commitment to performing canonical Anglican choral music with precision and grace, capturing the ethereal and transcendent qualities of the cathedral's acoustics. Through these recordings, they help bring the beauty of ecclesiastical music to a global audience.
