Choral music is at the heart of the worshipping life of Portsmouth Cathedral, whether at large diocesan and civic services, or a quieter mid-week Evensong. Not to have it would be like spring without birdsong! The oftenquoted maxim ‘those who sing well, pray twice’ expresses something of the emotional and spiritual power of music. Having the opportunity to make that music as a chorister, and to experience it in the congregation, is a gift beyond price. Your support to enable us to continue offering that gift would be hugely appreciated.
The Very Reverend Dr Anthony Cane
Dean of Portsmouth
The music of the church is one of the oldest expressions of music in Western civilisation, sung afresh in every generation in cathedrals and churches. Here at Portsmouth Cathedral, we have grown our musical tradition from humble beginnings in the twentieth century to a full programme of daily worship and rehearsals that rivals the more historic cathedrals in our region. Please do all you can to help us sustain and develop our musical life as we move towards our 2027 centenary year.
