Music has always been a major part of life at King's and, quite apart from the choral tradition associated with the Cathedral, the school offers a broad choice of musical activities for pupils at all levels.
Allied to the central core of musical excellence that the Cathedral Choristers provide on a daily basis, King’s is able to offer every pupil ample opportunities to perform in prestigious venues, supported by a team of dedicated professional musicians. Each performance is marked by a quality that is rare at school level and the numerous choirs and instrumental ensembles are testament to the boundless enthusiasm that the pupils bring to their commitments. Many have taken their vocal or instrumental studies on to further education with the support and nurturing of the musical environment at King’s.
The King’s Harmonists recorded a CD of light jazz classics and performed in and around Gloucester, the Chamber Choir has performed in London and the Chapel Choir has been on a trip to Paris. Some of the choirs will be making a trip to Prague in 2011.
