Choir of Chichester Cathedral

The musical foundation of Chichester Cathedral consists of

• the organist and master of the choristers, the assistant organist and the organ scholar; together with
• six lay vicars, adult professional singers who all have everyday jobs.
• eighteen choristers, six probationers – and including a head chorister and a senior chorister (deputy head) who both wear a notable medallion on a red ribbon according to their office held. In 2022 the choir recruited girl probationers for the first time.

The choristers and probationers are boarders at the Prebendal School, the cathedral's choir school As well as singing, choristers learn the piano and an orchestral instrument, spending at least eighteen hours a week on musical performance.
