The choral tradition in the UK is one of the world's musical jewels. Former choristers often attribute their successes in later life to the formative years spent at cathedral music foundations, including our special guest Alexander Armstrong – the actor and presenter was a chorister at St Mary's Cathedral in Edinburgh and is a key supporter of the Friends of Cathedral Music. As well as curating this episode, Joseph chats to Christopher Gray, Director of Music at Truro Cathedral, about the challenges and rewards of running a provincial cathedral choir. We also explore our own backgrounds as choristers, including some clips from our treble days!
