Chichester Area Talking News visit the Cathedral Choristers

Posted on 29 April 2019

Chichester Area Talking News (CATN) has recorded interviews with some of the Chichester Cathedral Choristers for the CATN Insight magazine - to be delivered to listeners in June.

In a break in the Saturday morning practice, up in the Cathedral Chapter House, Geoffrey Archer interviewed four choristers about their life in the Cathedral, singing with other choirs, and how they enjoyed a very busy school life.

Geoffrey also interviewed Organist and Master of the Choristers Charles Harrison about how choristers were chosen and their life in and around the Cathedral.

The choir was practising chorales from Bach’s St John’s Passion. The St John’s Passion will be part of this year’s Southern Cathedrals' Festival, combining choirs from Winchester, Salisbury and Chichester . This year Chichester Cathedral is hosting the festival which will be held between 18th and 21st July.
