The Cathedral Consort

Norwich Cathedral Consort is a friendly ensemble of some forty amateur singers drawn from around and about the Cathedral community.

Role of Norwich Cathedral Consort

Norwich Cathedral Consort exists primarily to sing services at Norwich Cathedral when the Cathedral Choir is on holiday.

The Consort also performs around three concerts each year, usually towards the end of each school term.

For these concerts the Consort has developed a strong relationship with Norwich Baroque, an orchestra of talented local players who specialise in baroque and classical repertoire.

The Consort performs a wide range of repertoire under the direction of David McKee and Tom Primrose. The Consort generally rehearses on Sunday evenings.

How to apply

Membership of the Consort is by audition. If you are interested in joining please contact David McKee.
