Ripon Cathedral has received a grant of £30,000 from the Cathedral Music Trust (CMT).
It's part of half a million pound investment in cathedral music for 2024.
The CMT said:
"These awards will support music departments to continue and further their brilliant work both in their own cathedrals and churches, and in the wider community…
"At the heart of this vital funding is our commitment to championing excellence in choral and organ music, and providing opportunities for people from all walks of life to thrive and develop."
The grant for Ripon includes the funding of outreach and chaperones as well as vocal training.
Director of Music, Dr Ronny Krippner said:
"Thanks to the generous support of the CMT, we are now in a strong position to expand both the provision for vocal training of our choristers and the professional development of our lay clerks, as well as engage supernumerary lay clerks more regularly to support the large number of treble voices in our cathedral choir. I am delighted!”
Dean John said:
"Music at Ripon Cathedral is enjoying a renaissance, but nothing can be taken for granted.
"Continued care and development of our growing number of choristers and choral scholars and sustained professional training for our superb lay clerks requires financial commitment, which is why I am extremely grateful for this grant."
