In total it maintains 55 choirs comprising some 3500 children meeting weekly. There are 52 school choirs, six boys' choirs, six girls' choirs, a ground- breaking choir school and a semi-professional adult choir. There are two main elements to the system: auditioned choirs for boys and girls and the Diocesan Schools Singing Programme. These two areas of work are complementary and the musical and educational rewards flow into the schools and the liturgical life of the Diocese.
