Steel City Choristers is an independent and innovative choir of children and adults in the cathedral tradition. We make high-quality sacred choral music more accessible and relevant, so that more people can experience its beauty and enjoy its benefits.
Steel City Choristers is an independent and innovative choir that brings children and adults together to sing to the highest musical standards in the Cathedral tradition.
Our Choristers are boys with treble voices and girls of all ages
Our teenage boys are known as our Changing Voices
Our adult singers are known as the Steel City Clerks.
We welcome boys and girls aged 6-18 regardless of their background or prior musical experience. Our adults are experienced singers with excellent sight reading skills. There are no fees for singing with us.
Our multi-age approach creates a community of singers in which those with more experience serve as inspiring role models to help apprentice our younger and less experienced singers.
Steel City Choristers was founded following the unexpected closure of Sheffield Cathedral Choir in July 2020.
Members of the former cathedral choir were committed to continuing to sing together and to keeping choral music alive in the city. Out of the strength of their community came the vision to establish Steel City Choristers as a choir that sings to the standard associated with our country’s cathedrals, but which does so out and about around the city.
Many new members have since joined the choir; yet the cathedral tradition remains at the heart of our approach and the music we sing.
