Music is at the very heart of Worcester Cathedral. For over 1300 years it has been an essential element in its every day life, not only enhancing the active worship in God but also transforming and bringing to life this magnificent and historic building.
Underpinning the music is the organ and the choirs. A recent appeal has raised monies to provide a new Quire organ.
Now the Cathedral is concentrating on providing support for the choirs.
To meet this need the Music Endowment is looking for financial support, ultimately to raise a minimum of £3 million. The income from this will contribute to current costs of the choir, at present £240,000, a large proportion of which goes towards supporting the education of boy choristers at The King's School as well as providing a choral education for girls. In doing so, it will help preserve the English choral tradition, under threat because of current economic conditions. You can Donate Here with the link on the left. |
