It was a great delight to welcome the Steel City Clerks to sing our Eucharist yesterday. Special thanks to them for allowing our own Youth Choir to sing with them during the Communion.
Steel City Choristers was established after Sheffield Cathedral unexpectedly closed the cathedral choir in July 2020, in order to maintain a high standard of cathedral-style choral music in the city and to make choral music more accessible and visible.
Steel City Choristers is an independent charity who raise their own funds, and they sing for a wide range of churches and different communities all around Sheffield, performing a diverse programme of church services and concerts. They are pioneering new ways of engaging with cathedral choral music and taking it out to hard-to-reach audiences, for example through innovative projects with food bank choirs.
If you love the choral tradition perhaps you might consider supporting Steel City Choristers. They rely on the generosity of supporters and funders across the country to cover the cost of their professional Director of Music and singing teachers and their annual budget is around £40,000. If you can help them in any way please look them up at steelcitychoristers.org.uk
