Current Opportunities
Alto Lay Vicar
We are looking for an Alto Lay Vicar to join Exeter Cathedral Choir. Applications are welcome from both suitably qualified countertenors (male) and contraltos (female). As a Lay Vicar, you will attend all full Cathedral Choir rehearsals and services, and will normally be expected to sing at each service. You will also have the exciting opportunity to take part in Choir broadcasts, concerts, recordings and tours.
Application Deadline: 12pm on Friday 20 February 2026
Interviews: Thursday 26 February 2026
Choral Scholarships
The Choral Scholarships at Exeter Cathedral (two each of counter-tenor or contralto, tenor and bass) are either held in conjunction with degree courses at Exeter University, (any subject, provided that lecture times do not clash seriously with choir commitments), or are offered to ‘gap’ students for either one or two years immediately before or after full-time tertiary study. The Choral Scholarships offer experience of singing daily in the Exeter Cathedral Choir alongside the six Lay Vicars. Former choral scholars have gone on to positions at some of the country’s major foundations.
We accept applications for Choral Scholarships throughout the year.
