Support the Glory of Music
Choral music has been an integral part of Cathedral life for almost 500 years and
breathes life into our wonderful building and brings joy to us all.
In Gloucester we are rightly proud of our musicians and the quality of our choirs.
If you wish to keep our choral tradition alive, please support our choirs.
The Youth Choir, Middle Choir, Junior Choir, boy and girl choristers all depend on your
support.
Help Cathedral music to thrive by making a donation or leaving a gift in your will or by
becoming a Music Patron for as little as £10 a month.
If you would like more information about supporting music at Gloucester Cathedral,
please contact our Development Manager, Sonia Bielaszewska:
