York Minster

Visiting Choirs

We welcome visits from choirs who wish to sing when the Minster Choir is unavailable. During choir terms visiting choirs can sing Evensong on Mondays, and for all services during choir holidays.

Singing at the Minster is both challenging and rewarding. Choirs must be able to sing psalms, responses, settings of the canticles and anthems at Evensong, and music for the Communion if singing on a Sunday.

For extra information, please see the 'useful documents' on the left hand side of this page.

We ask choirs to send a recent 'live' recording of evensong material before we make a firm booking. Please contact The Precentor's Secretary, Caroline Desrochers, Church House, Ogleforth, York, YO1 7JN, Tel 01904 557205, email carolined@yorkminster.org for further details.
