The Friends of Cathedral Music and the Ouseley Church Music Trust launched the Cathedral Choirs Emergency Fund to support choirs silenced during the COVID-19 national lockdown. We need to make sure they return to the musical excellence for which they are renowned throughout the world. It has become clear that this will only happen with significant additional funds. The Cathedral Choirs Emergency Fund aims to raise £1 million and make grants to cathedral choirs in need. Both FCM and OCMT have committed to making initial contributions of £250,000 each towards the target. We will work together and with other charities to raise funds to provide financial assistance as the response to this crisis unfolds. Our aim is to ensure that choirs can remain together and return to their normal high standards of performance once the buildings are opened again. Please donate to help secure the future of this valued tradition.
