About the Choral Foundation
In Autumn 2021, we launched Bournemouth’s ‘cathedral choir’.
The choir is made up of 32 choristers (16 boys and 16 girls), together with choral scholars (aged 13-18), and capable soprano, alto, tenor and bass adult singers. Together they will be known as the St. Peter’s Choral Foundation.
The Choral Foundation builds on 150 years of musical excellence at St. Peter’s to create choirs capable of singing for concerts, recordings, tours, and in cathedrals, in addition to the weekly round of choral services in Bournemouth.
Choristers and choral scholars receive musical training worth more than £500 a year. Just as importantly, they make new friends and quickly develop their confidence, teamwork, leadership, and resilience while having a lot of fun.
There is NO CHARGE for choir membership. Choristerships are open to boys and girls aged seven to sixteen. Choral scholarships are open to boys and girls with some musical experience from voice change (from Year 12 for sopranos). We also welcome enquiries from prospective lay clerks of all voice parts.
