Chorister Celebrations

After a busy Christmas season at the Cathedral, it was good to start 2022 in celebratory fashion for the Boy Choristers.

At the Eucharist on Sunday 16th January, Oliver M and Owen H were became the new Dean’s Scholars of the choir. This is a position which stretches back to the foundation of the present choir and school in 1880 when the Dean’s Scholars (Head Choristers) also took up a similar position of seniority within school.

We offer our congratulations to them and look forward to their names being added to the long list of Dean’s Scholars which can be seen on the boards in the School Chapel. Similar positions exist within the Girl Choristers, and their Senior Choristers will be presented with their awards in early February.

The new Dean’s Scholars’ first act of duty was to present surplices to and make up five Probationers at Evensong the same day.

Congratulations to Lucas K, Zach H, Austin D, Alex W and Theo N who all became full choristers in the choir after being probationers for much longer than normal (thanks to covid!).
