The Choir of Canterbury Cathedral carries on a legacy stretching back over 1,400 years, making it one of England’s oldest and most revered choral institutions. Based at the iconic Canterbury Cathedral—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and mother church of the Anglican Communion—this ensemble blends tradition with fresh energy. Composed of boy choristers (students from the cathedral’s St Edmund’s School) and adult lay clerks, they maintain the daily rhythm of sung worship services while also recording albums like *Carols from Canterbury* and *The Canterbury Voice (Live)*. Their recent releases, such as *Gabriel Jackson: Choral Works* and *Palimpsest: New Works From Old*, showcase their commitment to both timeless repertoire and contemporary commissions. Whether performing centuries-old hymns or modern pieces like *The Cage Without Birds*, the choir’s clear, resonant sound embodies the sacred acoustics of their historic home. When not filling the cathedral with music, they tour internationally and spread seasonal cheer through projects like their *Christmas Night* album. Directed by the cathedral’s Master of the Music, they’re keepers of a living tradition—no dust on those cassocks!
