Lincoln Cathedral Choir

Lincoln Cathedral Choir is an esteemed ensemble associated with one of England's most magnificent medieval churches, Lincoln Cathedral, which has been a place of worship and music-making for many centuries. The choir is primarily made up of choristers and lay vicars, with the choristers typically being boys who attend the cathedral's connected school, Lincoln Minster School. The choir maintains the rich tradition of British choral music, performing services in the cathedral and offering concerts to the public.

With a history steeped in ecclesiastical tradition, Lincoln Cathedral Choir has produced an impressive array of recordings, reflecting a repertoire that spans from ancient to contemporary sacred music. In recent years, their discography has expanded with notable releases such as "The Complete Psalms of David, Series 2 Vol. 6," showcasing their commitment to the Anglican choral heritage. They have also ventured into exploring the works of specific composers, evidenced by "Ireland: Church Music," which pays homage to the English composer John Ireland. "Hail Mary - Choral Music" and "Deep Peace" further highlight their versatility and the depth of their choral presentations, while "Christmas Peace At Lincoln" captures the serene and celebratory essence of the holiday season at the cathedral, a time when the choir is especially prominent in its musical contribution to the festive services. Through their exquisite performances and recordings, Lincoln Cathedral Choir continues to enchant audiences and uphold the cathedral's longstanding musical legacy.
