Music
Cathedral Choirs:
The Cathedral has two choirs: the Cathedral Choristers (mixed boy and girl trebles aged 7–14 years) which sing a weekly Choral Evensong on Sundays at 3.30pm and an adult voluntary choir 'the Nave Choir', which sing most Sunday morning 10.30am Eucharists.
At the moment and while the trebles develop, for large diocesan services a choir is drawn from the Cathedral Choristers and the Nave Choir, as well as invited singers from across the whole diocese.
Organs:
The Cathedral has a large 2 manual Brindley & Foster organ in the Chancel and a Viscount 3 manual "Physis" organ in the Nave. Across the next 5 years the pipe organ will be rebuilt, re-ordered and significantly enlarged to meet the demands of the Cathedral's choral program.
The Organist & Director of Music is Peter Litman.
