Hereford Cathedral is to host an open morning for budding choristers.

It will take place on Saturday March 14, from 9.30 am and noon.

Geraint Bowen, the cathedral's Director of Music, said: "The search is now on for the next generation of boys, currently aged 6–8, to join the choir in 2015 or 2016. The life of a chorister is a busy one, but one which will give them experiences and skills to last a lifetime.

"This year we are once again inviting boys to come along and have a real ‘hands-on’ experience, as we feel the open morning then gives potential choristers a real insight into what life here is like.The open morning includes an opportunity to take part in a short workshop with the current choristers and sing with some of them in the cathedral."

As places at the open morning are limited, anyone planning to attend is asked to book a place by contacting the cathedral office on 01432 374212 or office@herefordcathedral.org
