Truro Cathedral Choir Truro Cathedral Choir has an unbroken tradition dating back to the 1880s, when services took place in a wooden shed while John Loughborough Pearson’s cathedral was under construction. Today, the choir usually performs with either its junior choristers or its senior choristers, joined by its twelve adult professional singers. The adult professional singers usually comprise seven lay vicars (permanent members of the choir) and five choral scholars (pre- or post-university students from all over the country and further afield).

The choir has appeared on BBC1, BBC2, BBC4, and ITV, as well as taking part in regular live broadcasts on BBC Radio 3. In May 2023, Truro were am
