It performs up to six concerts per year including an annual Christmas concert at Gloucester Cathedral as well as taking part in the Cathedral Choirs Days and occasional Evensongs. In 2016, the choir performed the world premiere of Philip Lancaster’s War Passion, commissioned by the Three Choirs Festival.
