Extra-curricular Music
Lincoln Minster‟s provision for sixth form musicians is outstanding. With more than 16,000 music
lessons being taught each year and more than 20 activities each week, there is something for
everyone. Our Chamber Choir were finalists in the National Choir of the Year 2010, and performed at
the National Festival of Music for Youth in July 1011. The Choir has broadcast on BBC1, Radio 4
and Radio Lincolnshire and has performed in Venice, Oxford and Birmingham. In October 2011, they
will be performing with English Touring Opera in a concert of Bach Cantatas and in November will
be performing in the world premiere of Howard Goodall‟s „Every Purpose Under the Heavens‟. Our
50-piece Symphonic Wind Band has been on tour to Switzerland and Paris. We have 10 choirs,
several orchestras, a lot of jazz, a folk group and many bands. We cater both for the nervous beginner
and for students of national standard!
For our most gifted students there are auditioned school ensembles with opportunities to perform in
outstanding professional venues, such as the Birmingham Symphony Hall, Lincoln Cathedral,
Oxford‟s Sheldonian Theatre, St Giovanni e Paolo Cathedral in Venice, to work with professional
musicians such as composers John Rutter, Bob Chilcott and Howard Goodall and singer James Laing.
In addition to their music-making in school, Lincoln has a vibrant musical culture and many of our
students are at its forefront: playing in Jazz Vehicle, in the County Orchestra and singing in the
Cathedral‟s Consort choir. About 10 students travel to London and Manchester for extra tuition on
Saturdays at conservatoires and some sing and play in the National Youth Choir and Orchestra.
Lincoln Minster encourages pupils to play and sing as much as possible in a wide range of styles and
environments.
It is a privilege to be part of a close-knit team of musicians at Lincoln Minster, where many pupils
enjoy working together to produce performances which are outstanding standard.
