Junior Choir

For children in school years 1 to 3 (ages 6 to 8)

Our lively and friendly Junior Choir (unauditioned) for the youngest singers meets a few times a month to rehearse and sings as part of a service at Great St Mary’s around once or twice a term.

​

For more information about joining the Junior Choir, email its director, Helen Groves (juniorchoir@gsm.cam.ac.uk).

Choristers

For children in school years 4 to 9 (ages 8 to 14)

Older children at Great St Mary’s enjoy a varied and rewarding programme of weekly rehearsals, tuition, choral services, concerts and tours throughout the year, bringing beautiful music to thousands of worshippers and visitors at the heart of the city and University and further afield. Children start in the choir as probationer choristers, and after a year's apprenticeship are promoted to full choristership.

​

We are currently recruiting children who will be in Years 3 and 4 from September 2025 (auditions on 29 March and 19 April 2025). We typically take 3 boys and 3 girls in each year group.

We also have places for boys currently in Year 5, who would be able to join mid-year.

Youth Choir

For teenagers in school years 10 to 13 (ages 14 to 18)

Our Youth Choir offers an enriching musical education to teenagers who are serious about their music-making. Rehearsals are fun and purposeful, and our repertoire is broad and ambitious. The Youth Choir sings either independently or with the adult back row.

​

We are especially looking for tenors and basses to join the Youth Choir. We also encourage applications from boys with changing voices in Year 9 and below.

Adult Choir

Our adult back row is made up of volunteer Altos, Tenors and Basses. They rehearse once a week on Friday evenings. We are always keen to hear from experienced singers with strong sight-reading skills who are interested in joining.

​

We currently have places for two tenors and two basses.
