Chichester Cathedral Choir is steeped in British choral tradition, hailing from the historic Chichester Cathedral in West Sussex, England. The choir is known for its integral role in the daily worship at the cathedral, and its repertoire includes both religious and secular works, ranging from ancient to contemporary compositions. The choir also plays a significant part in the cathedral's special services, including the nationally renowned Chichester Festivities and the Southern Cathedrals Festival. With a lineage of choral music that traces back centuries, the choir is comprised of skilled boy and girl choristers alongside professional adult singers known as lay vicars or choral scholars.

Over the years, Chichester Cathedral Choir has cultivated a reputation for excellence in both live performances and recorded works. Their discography showcases an impressive array of choral pieces, highlighting their versatility and deep understanding of the genre. Recent releases such as "Lest We Forget" and "Christmas Celebration" emphasize their commitment to thematic and seasonal programming, while projects like "The Complete Psalms of David Series 2, Vol. 10" offer comprehensive takes on religious texts set to music. Their dedication to the works of composers like Charles Villiers Stanford, showcased in releases like "Let Us with a Gladsome Mind & A Song of Freedom," proves their prowess in interpreting the canon of Anglican church music and their ability to bring these historical pieces to contemporary audiences. The choir's "Choral Christmas - Seasonal Favorites Performed By Cathedral Choir" and "A Festival of Carols- Music of Christmas from the cathedrals of England" are particular standouts that exemplify their skill in capturing the festive spirit with rich, evocative performances.
