Liverpool Cathedral are inviting applications for the positions of Tenor and Bass Choral Scholars to join our music team.  These roles are ideal for outstanding gap year, undergraduate or postgraduate students. However, all applications will be considered equally.

The department is a friendly and welcoming one and a number of social events are part of the experience. The scholars will be welcome and encouraged to join the cathedral´s youth group (18-25) known as the Overcrofters.

Concert work is an important part of the choir’s work and they frequently join with the choir of the Metropolitan Cathedral for concerts and services and also the choirs of Manchester and Chester Cathedrals each year for a joint choral evensong. The cathedral choir supports a termly concert in the cathedral as part of the extensive choral outreach within the city and also gives a termly concert in a Diocesan church.
