ARCHIVES

The archives go back for centuries but you may have something interesting to add which has been overlooked.

Visit the website of the Federation of Cathedral Old Choristers Association.

The Federation of Cathedral Old Choristers Association consists of Old Chorister Associations from CATHEDRALS throughout the British Isles, Eire and New Zealand.

The Society of Ely Choristers sends delegates to Federation of Cathedral Old Choristers AGM and Festival - You could go too! Contact the Chairman for further details.

The objects are primarily to promote friendship amongst people from like backgrounds, to assist in maintaining and improving the high standard of cathedral music that plays such a vital part in cathedral worship, to support and encourage the activities of each Association and to bring them together in closer contact with one another.

The Federation is instrumental in supporting English Cathedral Music, and maintaining the traditions of Cathedral Choir Schools. It was also instrumental in retaining BBC Choral Evensong on Wednesdays.
