cathedral choir
Sacred ensemble voices
A cathedral choir is the group of singers who perform sacred music in a cathedral, typically during regular services and special ceremonies.
These choirs often maintain centuries-old traditions of choral music, with many featuring boy sopranos alongside adult voices.
The cathedral choir rehearses every evening before evensong.
