Become a Music Patron or Sponsor a Chorister

Securing a musical tradition for the 21st Century

Music is the heart of Cathedral. It would be unthinkable to imagine Evensong without choristers or the sound of the famous organ ringing around the Nave. Over the last few years, we have enhanced our musical provision, ensuring equal opportunities for girls and boys, launching a new Middle Choir and doubling the size of the Junior Choir for children of any ability.

In that time, we have also worked with thousands of local school children, each benefitting from dedicated singing and music making workshops. Our Music Patrons have helped make all of this possible, and in return enjoy a range of benefits for their continued support.

Membership is available from £15 a month (£180 per annum). To find out more about becoming a Music Patron, download our guide below.

Sponsor a Chorister - Change a Life

At Gloucester Cathedral, our choristers begin their musical journey from Year 3 to Year 8 – a formative time when talent is nurtured, discipline is fostered, and lifelong memories are made.

Our choral tradition is a national treasure, renowned across the world. The education our choristers receive goes far beyond music – building confidence, resilience, teamwork, and a lasting love for excellence. They perform to a professional standard, creating memories and skills that shape their futures.

Now, we invite you to be part of their journey. By sponsoring a chorister, you’ll help provide the training, education, and opportunities that enable them to flourish – both in the choir stalls and beyond.
