Truro Cathedral are putting on an exciting opportunity for girl Choristers in 2023, find out more below.
Dear CMST Musicians and Parents,
Truro Cathedral and Truro School are delighted to extend an invitation to their ‘Be a Girl Chorister for a Day’ event, on Tuesday 15 November, to all girls in Years 7 and 8 who like singing, and especially those who may be interested in applying for a chorister scholarship.
The ‘Be a Girl Chorister for a Day’ event gives girls the chance to experience life as a chorister, starting with their morning rehearsal and then a normal school day, ending with the opportunity to sing Evensong with Truro Cathedral Choir. All of Truro Cathedral’s choristers are educated at Truro School. They each receive 25% scholarships and are eligible for means-tested additional support for their five years in Truro Cathedral Choir (ending as they leave Upper Sixth). Girls apply to be choristers when they are in Year 8, in order to begin as they enter Year 9. More information about chorister scholarships can be found here: https://www.truroschool.com/admissions/girl-chorister-scholarships/
Previous ‘Be a Girl Chorister for a Day’ events have inspired many to apply over the years, and for others it is just a great day of singing at a very high level with a wonderful group of musicians.
Chris Gray, Director of Music at Truro Cathedral: “What the choristers achieve on a daily basis is extraordinary. There are few areas of life in which young people still at school can achieve professional standards, but that is exactly what our choristers do. Working as part of a close team, they bring a level of focus and passion to their singing that is constantly inspiring. Being a chorister can be a life-changing and life-enhancing experience.”
