Music
The Cathedral’s Music Department is led by Canon Peter de Blois, Director of Music and Philip Smith, Cathedral Organist. They are assisted by Paul Tarling, Belinda Godfrey Memorial Organ Scholar.
The Cathedral Choir plays an integral part in the worship life of the Cathedral and sings at the 10.00am Choral Eucharist and 5.00pm Choral Evensong each Sunday, and Choral Evensong at 6.00pm each Wednesday during term time. The repertoire ranges from Latin settings to 21st century works, and includes music by New Zealand composers. Choir members are drawn from the Auckland region and come from a variety of walks of life. Information regarding auditions for the Cathedral Choir can be obtained by contacting the Director of Music.
The Cathedral also has two youth choirs. The Boys' and Girls' Choirs receive the rich experience of the Cathedral choral repertoire and of the cycle of the Christian year. Cathedrals have long provided this opportunity and Holy Trinity Cathedral is unique in this within the Auckland area. The youth choirs sing Choral Evensong on Tuesdays (Girls) and Thursdays (Boys) at 5.30pm.
The choir currently has vacancies for altos, tenors and basses. If you would like to be a part of this vibrant choir and sing the full range of cathedral repertoire, please contact the Director of Music.
