Young singers are being invited to 'find their voice' at Worcester Cathedral.

The 'Find Your Voice' campaign is encouraging young people to sing regularly in the Cathedral by joining the Voluntary Choir, for younger singers aged seven to 13, and the Youth Choir, for older singers aged 14 to 18.

On Sunday (November 17), prospective Voluntary Choir members are invited to a 'come and sing' session at the cathedral, where they can sing in the evening service and experience being a "Voller" for themselves.

Starting at 5pm, participants will enjoy some singing games, look around the cathedral, learn two new pieces of music, and then sing with the choir at the 6.30pm service.

It will finish around 7pm.

There is no charge, and all are welcome to attend.

The choir, for girls and boys aged seven to 13, was first formed in October 1874 and, having just celebrated its 150th anniversary, is one of the longest-running cathedral voluntary choirs in England.

They rehearse weekly on Wednesdays at 6.30pm and sing each week at the Sunday 6.30pm service.

In September 2021, the cathedral founded a new youth choir for teenage boys and girls aged 14 to 18, to allow singers in the age bracket to engage with the cathedral music department.

They meet weekly on Tuesdays at 6pm to rehearse.

Nicholas Freestone, assistant director of music, said: "There really is nothing better than singing in a choir: the physical act of singing, the teamwork with other choir members, and the opportunity to learn about new styles of music.

"It really is excellent for mental health and wellbeing, not to mention the inspiration of singing in this glorious building on a regular basis and being part of a centuries-old tradition.

"We are delighted to offer these opportunities to young people across Worcester free of charge and with no audition.

"It really excites me that we are encouraging the young people of Worcester to find their voice."
