About us
Lichfield Cathedral Chorus is a choral society based in Lichfield Cathedral. 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 hugely popular.
If you enjoy our concerts, why not consider becoming a patron to help support our work?
Come and Sing Mozart's Requiem ()
A ‘come and sing’ event where we invite everyone to come and spend the day learning Mozart’s Requiem followed by a full performance; with the option to attend five weekly rehearsals beforehand.
The rehearsals all take place on Thursdays from 7:30 to 9:00pm with the dates and locations shown below and on our schedule.
- Thursday 15 May - Lichfield Cathedral
- Thursday 22 May - Lichfield Cathedral
- Thursday 29 May - Half term: no rehearsal
- Thursday 5 June - Lichfield Cathedral
- Thursday 12 June - Lichfield Cathedral
- Thursday 19 June - Lichfield Methodist Church
We will be giving out music before the first rehearsal so I suggest you arrive for about 7:15pm so we can get you set up and introduce you to someone in the same vocal section.
We have to draw your attention to the Cathedral's statement on parking: Parking in the Close is restricted to permit holders only. Please do not attempt to park in the Close as it is regularly patrolled, and parking tickets are issued to cars not displaying a valid Cathedral permit. There are a limited number of spaces at the west front for blue badge holders.
More details for the Singing Day in Tamworth will follow soon but in the meantime you may contact the Chairman for additional information.
