York Minster has one of the UK’s leading cathedral choirs; its mastery of the English choral tradition is one of the cathedral’s crowning glories. Life as one of our choristers is busy and exciting with opportunities to take part in recordings, live TV and radio broadcasts, and international tours. The cathedral was among the first to introduce girl choristers, who share the singing equally with the boys at eight sung services each week during term time.

We spoke to Joy and Bertie about why children should join our choir (and whether Mr Sharpe’s jokes are actually funny!).
