about
There are several choirs with this name, as Christ Church Cathedral is the name of many cathedrals around the world, e.g. in Oxford, Canterbury, Dublin, Vancouver and Indianapolis. 1) The main Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Oxford consists of 12 adults (6 professional "lay-clerks" and 6 student "academical clerks") and 16 choristers (boys aged 7 – 13), and is directed by Steven Grahl. The choir was all male until 2019, when they welcomed alto Elizabeth Nurse, the first female clerk of Christ Church Cathedral Choir. They sing in university term time, at Christmas and Easter, and have an extensive touring and recording programme. Former choristers include the composer William Walton. The Cathedral Singers consists of volunteers and is currently directed by James Potter. They are usually in residence outside of term time when the choristers and academical clerks of the main choir are on holiday. The college choir sings every 1–2 weeks in term time and is made up of current undergraduates and postgraduates from the college. Since September 2019, the Cathedral has also had a choir for girls aged 7-14 called Frideswide Voices. The choristers are drawn from schools around Oxford, and sing evensong once a week. The choir is directed by Helen Smee. -- 2) Vancouver's Christ Church Cathedral Choir is recognized as one of the finest of its kind in Canada, having placed first in the church choir category of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Amateur Choral Competition for 3 co
