York Minster Choir

York Minster Choir is the venerable vocal ensemble rooted in the historic York Minster Cathedral, carrying on a tradition of sacred music that stretches back centuries. Known for their crystalline boy trebles and rich adult voices, this UK-based choir maintains its primary role in daily worship services while also creating recordings that showcase England's ecclesiastical music heritage. Their recent releases like *A York Yuletide* and *Cathedral Christmas* highlight their knack for seasonal serenity, while albums dedicated to composers like Samuel Wesley and Francis Jackson reveal their deep dive into British church repertoire. Though steeped in medieval traditions (they've been singing in that same awe-inspiring gothic space since the 7th century!), they’re not stuck in the past—modern commissions and collaborations keep their sound fresh. When they’re not filling the Minster’s vaulted ceilings with harmonies, you might catch them touring or schooling the next generation of choristers through the Minster’s dedicated choir school.
