The King's School Gloucester is inviting aspiring singers in Years 2, 3 and 4 to its next Chorister Voice Trials, taking place at Gloucester Cathedral this March 2026.
Confident children with a talent and enthusiasm for singing can try out by performing their favourite song, hymn, carol or nursery rhyme — with no special coaching or voice training required.
Becoming a Gloucester Cathedral chorister offers unique benefits, including an enriching musical, academic and cultural education at the multi-award-winning The King's School Gloucester — which also features in The Good Schools Guide — with a generous choral scholarship.
Playing an integral role in worship at Gloucester Cathedral, choristers sing in its regular services, as well as having the opportunity to take part in exciting concerts and festivals — such as the prestigious Three Choirs Festival held every summer and returning to Gloucester Cathedral in 2026.
When choristers leave the choir, they are eligible to apply for music scholarships and bursaries at King's, too, with many ex-choristers going on to complete their education at the school.
When are the next Chorister Voice Trials at Gloucester Cathedral?
Voice trials for girls take place on Wednesday 4 March 2026; and boys take place on Thursday 5 March 2026.
