About us
Lichfield Cathedral Chorus is a choral society based in Lichfield Cathedral since 1959. The choir has around 100 members and performs two or three concerts each year with orchestra or organ to large audiences.
Our annual Christmas Carol Concert with the Salvation Army Cannock Citadel Band is particularly popular.
If you enjoy our concerts, why not consider becoming a patron to help support our work?
Welcome!
Our 2025–2026 season is a celebration of joy, exploring works by John Rutter, Ralph Vaughan-Williams, Anton Bruckner, George Frideric Handel, Antonio Vivaldi, Francis Poulenc and Johann Sebastian Bach.
Throughout the season we will be singing with a joyful voice, and inviting our audiences to do the same!
