Wells Cathedral Choir, internationally recognized as one of the world's premier choirs, holds an esteemed position within the English choral tradition. Associated with the historic Wells Cathedral, located in Somerset, UK, the choir is composed of talented boy choristers and adult male and female singers. Their sacred music legacy is shaped by the unique setting of the cathedral, which not only serves as a place of worship but also as a breathtaking acoustic space that enhances their rich vocal performances.

The group has a distinguished recording legacy, with a modern catalogue that seamlessly blends contemporary compositions with traditional works. Among their notable releases are "Awake, My Soul: Choral Works by Gary Davison" and "John Joubert: St Mark Passion, Missa Wellensis & Locus Iste," which showcase their commitment to embracing new liturgical music. Seasonal recordings, such as "Christmas from Wells" and "A Wells Christmas," exhibit their versatility and the choir's ability to capture the essence of festive and reflective periods. Wells Cathedral Choir not only contributes to the rich tapestry of English choral music through liturgical services, but also by bringing modern sacred works to a wider audience, as highlighted by their performances of John Tavener's "Missa Wellensis" and Bob Chilcott's "St John Passion" and "Requiem & Other Choral Works." Their dedication to preserving and advancing choral music is evident not only in their recordings but also in their regular participation in concerts and events, making them an important cultural asset beyond the boundaries of their cathedral setting.
