We do not belong to any particuLar geographical area or church denomination. In over 25 years, nearly 400 people from all backgrounds have sung with us - often for the first time in an English Cathedral. The number continues to grow year by year. Martin Hall, our founder, became 'Director Emeritus' in Autumn 2006 and Matthew O' Donovan took over the post of Director in his stead. Because of the way we meet, we don't require formal auditions in advance, but new singers are expected to be excellent sight readers and to have a good choral tone.  Lass="view_less_link" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.dispLay='';$(this).getParent().style.dispLay='none';">less
