Further information
‘The Choir Project’, working in partnership with the Royal School of Church Music
(RSCM), will engage children and young people with their local church choirs amid
renewed interest in sacred church music.
The launch comes as campaigners press for English Evensong to be given World Heritage Status to ensure the centuries-old Christian choral tradition is recognised as
an art form of global significance. The number of cathedral choirs in England reached a record high of 207 in 2024, but 57% of local church choirs currently have no children.
The new programme will tap into the country’s rich tradition of choral worship with a view to sparking a revival of local parish choir membership amongst Generation Alpha, engaging them actively with Christianity.
