<p>The Choir of Boys and Men sings Choral Evensongs each Wednesday in term-time and Choral services on most Sundays, with rehearsals on Mondays (Boys), Wednesdays (after Evensong), and Sundays. There is a large repertoire of anthems, responses &amp; settings. (Listen) The choir have recorded 2 CDs in recent years; toured to Milan (2005) Paris (2007) and Rome (2009) and recently sang on BBC Songs of Praise. Meetings of a more fun and social nature are also a feature.</p>
<p>Any boys are eligible for trial, and begin as probationers. Probationers come from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities and are trained to become full Choristers. This is a tremendous opportunity for developing a whole range of skills as well as musical ones. The age range for trebles is 7 &#8211; 14yrs, with many moving as young men to sing Alto, Tenor or Bass after that. A small bursary is paid to the boys each term, and opportunities arise for other bonuses, subsidies and scholarships.</p>
