SIX Wiltshire boys took part in a special ceremony in Salisbury Cathedral last Sunday with 13-year-old Henry Cooper from Salisbury appointed head Boy Chorister and five younger boys admitted as full choristers into the Cathedral Choir.
Director of Music David Halls said “It was a lovely service and good to see so many friends and supporters of the youngsters sharing this important day with them. Henry Cooper’s new appointment is due reward for his ongoing leadership of the choir throughout the year and gives him the authority he deserves within the boys’ choir.
The new choristers are nine-year-olds Alexander Halls and Alex Tan from Salisbury and Nicolas Fletcher from Alderbury, along with Benjamin Harding from Urchfont, near Devizes, and Joss Nelson from Wilton, both 10. It is always exciting training new choristers.
The cathedral choir’s annual open day for potential choristers in school years 2, 3 and 4 will be held on November 13.
