Durham Cathedral Consort of Singers was founded in October 1997: it consists of twenty-one adult volunteer singers and it normally sings about three services in the cathedral during each University Term.

The daily worship of the Cathedral has been led by a choir for nine centuries, and the maintenance and development of the Cathedral Choir continues to be a high priority. However, increasing pressure on choir members' time through the growing number of special services in the Cathedral led to the decision to start a      

second choir, Durham Cathedral Consort of Singers; this choir is able to extend the musical ministry of the Cathedral by singing services at times when the Cathedral Choir is not available.

There are currently vacancies in all four voice-parts and all are welcome to apply for auditions. While previous experience of singing in a small choir is not a prerequisite, importance is attached to vocal ability and to first-class sight-reading.

There is no remuneration; successful candidates will nevertheless be expected to commit themselves at the outset to attending all rehearsals and services.

Candidates wishing to audition should apply to
