Former choristers of Peterborough Cathedral, as well as anyone currently or previously affiliated with the music at Peterborough Cathedral, are invited to become members of the Peterborough Cathedral Old Choristers’ Association. Despite its historical title and existence from 1910, membership is not restricted to the “old”: former choristers of all ages are welcome, as well as anyone previously or

currently affiliated with the Music at Peterborough Cathedral. The OCA currently boasts over 400 members, and meets each September for the Annual Reunion. In addition to making new contacts and reuniting old friends, the day involves singing Choral Evensong with the Cathedral Choir, attending the AGM, and enjoying the Reunion Dinner in the evening. There is also an opportunity to sing Eucharist or Evensong on 27th December each year before the Old Petriburgians’ Association Reunion at the Brewery Tap. NEWSLETTER
The annual Christmas newsletter, compiled by Tim Hurst-Brown (Chairman), continues to provide news of the association, the cathedral, and former choristers/lay clerks/organists to members all over the world. MEMBERSHIP
Membership to Peterborough Cathedral Old Choristers’ Association costs £25 per annum. As well as assisting former choristers keep in touch with Peterborough Cathedral’s ministry and music, the OCA supports current chorister singing lessons, which is a valuable part of their musical education.
