Be a Chorister Afternoon
Come and sing – and discover life as a chorister at St Mary’s Music School. Being a chorister at St Mary’s Music School offers children a unique combination of outstanding musical training, a first-class academic education and the chance to be part of a centuries-old choral tradition.
During the afternoon, children will:
- Take part in a fun, friendly singing session led by our choral staff
- Get a feel for what rehearsals are like and how choristers work together
- Learn more about chorister life at St Mary’s Music School, both musically and day-to-day
- Build confidence and understanding ahead of the audition process
PLEASE NOTE: The Chorister Pre-Audition Afternoon is open to P3 and P4 pupils who enjoy singing and are considering applying to become a full-time chorister at St Mary’s Music School from September 2026. Children should live within reasonable travelling distance of St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh.
Date: Friday 1 May, 2026
Time: 2:20pm to 4pm
Where: St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral
