As voice trials for 2023 girl chorister places got underway at Salisbury Cathedral last Saturday, three young trainee choristers prepared for their admission to the Choir as full choristers during Evensong later that day.
Matilda Macmillan, from Pentridge, Phoebe Geary from Woodfalls, and Alice Griffin, from near Downton, were all admitted.
It was in at the deep end for the new choristers too.

Following their admission to the choir on Saturday, January 21, all three sang at the Epiphany Devotion the following day and they will also be recording a Christmas album later this month.
David Halls, director of music at the Cathedral, said: “The girls have worked hard to earn their promotion and it is well deserved. They did a great job, along with the rest of the choir, at the Epiphany Devotion. The extracts from Bach’s Christmas Oratorio sounded wonderful, particularly with the period instruments; a performance to be proud of.”
Voice Trials for boy choristers will be held on Saturday, January 28.
To apply go to the Chorister Recruitment page on the Cathedral website and complete this form, or contact JoJo Orange via email or at 01722 555300.
