Welcome to
Wells Cathedral Chamber Choir!
Church music from across the centuries
Sung in the ‘most poetic of all English cathedrals’
By an auditioned, committed and friendly group of singers
At the hands of an inspired director
We sing in the magnificent surroundings of Wells Cathedral on occasions when the Cathedral Choir is absent
Repertoire
Our repertoire is extensive and varied, ranging from medieval to contemporary, accompanied and a capella.
Members
Our members are enthusiastic adult singers, with a wide variety of backgrounds, but all keen on the liturgical music of the Anglican church. Some are working, some retired; some have young families. We live in Wells or elsewhere around the county.
Activities
We sing in Wells Cathedral during Cathedral Choir holidays and other absences.
We sing at weddings, funerals and memorial services, both in Wells Cathedral and elsewhere.
And, as part of the Cathedral’s outreach activities, we enjoy visiting parishes to sing at Evensong or celebratory services.

Assistant Director of Music, Wells Cathedral
Alex Hamilton clearly knows what he is doing
It’s such a joy to be singing at this standard
What an extraordinary privilege to sing in a building and a liturgy of such historical significance!
A huge thank you to you and the rest of the choir for the most beautiful
performance throughout our service at North Cadbury
Choral societies study one or two works all term.
Our turnover is about three weeks.
The music for the end of the month should give us plenty to get our teeth into
Choir in good voice this morning, especially in the Agnus Dei
Residencies give us time to spend on our music – they are hard work, but the opportunity to sing in beautiful surroundings and to be together as a group are worth all the effort!
Thank you for being such a friendly bunch and welcoming me so nicely
Thank you so much for the wonderful singing you provided for my mother’s funeral. Your music suggestions were brilliant and the choir was excellent
It was a really good weekend of music. The choir were sounding excellent throughout.
Really enjoyed all of last night’s [rehearsal] music
Lovely sings this weekend, Alex, thank you
My repertoire choices are always intended to be achievable, but also to be challenging
The music was really wholeheartedly appreciated and there are a few absentees who are now realising that not attending was a mistake
I hope those of us that were able to sing last weekend have come down to earth, whilst retaining happy memories of all that we sang. We had some very welcome appreciation from various quarters
It was a great day [in the Cathedral] and I’m now feeling as though Christmas is just around the corner. Thanks to Alex for preparing us so well
Alex is a phenomenon. I’ve loved the singing this term
I enjoy singing varied (and sometimes challenging) choral music with a great team
I’m extremely grateful for the choir’s presence last night and have received a number of calls today (which is most unusual)
