Membership (£25.00 pa / £2.50 pm)Running Peterborough Cathedral Choir costs £270,000.00 each year. Membership to your Association costs only £25.00 per year or £2.50 per month (that's less than the average price of a cup of coffee!), though you are very welcome to donate more.
We have been delighted to fund current chorister singing lessons, rehearsals and tours, which are a valuable part of their musical education. Our annual donation is so greatly appreciated, and we'd love to be able to give more to ensure all choristers - regardless of their circumstances - are given the same opportunity. We have gladly agreed to donate £2,000.00 to the Cathedral Choir each year at the past few AGMs, but we cannot continue to do so unless you support us financially. If you don't already contribute, or haven't yet reviewed your regular giving, standing orders via online or mobile banking are most appreciated.
