  • The Road to Bristol Old Vic
    250 YEARS OLD Thank you for being part of one of the most significant anniversaries in the history of British theatre. We’ve done our best to curate a programme worthy of your efforts, inspired by the astonishing creativity of the thousands of artists – from Sarah Siddons to Sally Cookson – who have delighted and entertained you and your forebears over the last 250 years. But at heart, ours is a story of passion, survival and reinvention. All the other theatres producing plays in 1766 have fallen down or been demolished because, at some point in their history, their audiences abandoned them. This one has survived because each time it’s faced disaster, Bristolians from all over the world have given it new life. It happened in 1800, when popular demand led to the ceiling being tipped up and the new gallery being built, increasing the capacity to an eye-watering 1,600. It happened in 1933 when Blanche Rogers initiated the campaign that the old place should be saved and become ‘Bristol’s Old Vic’. It happened in 2007 when Dick Penny held the open meeting (which many of you attended), leading to the Arts Council continuing its vital support for the theatre. And it’s happening throughout this wonderful anniversary, as you carry us towards the final stage of the refurbishment that will set us securely on our adventures over the next 250 years. So as you read about the shows we’re staging and the projects we’re curating during our birthday year, don’t forget to give yourself a warm pat on the back for being the people who are, in the end, responsible for all of it.

  • Lay Clerkships at Bristol Cathedral
    Bristol Cathedral Choir L A Y C L E R K S Revised April 2019, TP Lay Clerkships at Bristol Cathedral Bristol Cathedral is one of the city’s most beautiful buildings, containing architecture from the 12th century (most famously in the stunning Chapter House) right through to the 19th (the Nave). It has perfect acoustics for the singing of choral music and is possessed of one of the finest Edwardian Cathedral Organs in the country (built in 1907 by the prestigious firm of J W Walker, and completely restored in 1990). Further information about the Cathedral and its life can be found by visiting bristol-cathedral.co.uk There has been a choir at Bristol Cathedral since its foundation in 1542, and probably since the days of the Augustinians (from 1140). Services are sung six times a week during term time by either the Cathedral Choir (Lay Clerks & Choral Scholars and boys/girls) or the Cathedral Consort. The Choir The Cathedral Choir consists of up to 28 choristers (14 boys and 14 girls), probationary choristers, six Lay Clerks, and four Choral Scholars. The Cathedral Choir encourages singers from the University of Bristol and UWE through the Choral Scholarship scheme. The current pattern for sung worship in the Cathedral (as it affects Lay Clerks) is as follows: Monday, Tuesday rehearsal (4.45pm) for Evensong (5.15 pm) sung by the full Choir Friday rehearsal (4.45pm) for Evensong (5.15pm) sung by the Lay Clerks Saturday rehearsal (2.30pm) for Evensong (3.30pm) sung by the full Choir. There is a Saturday off once a month.
