There will be opportunities to accompany choral services, direct the choir(s) at some services, play a part in the training of the Probationer Choristers and also to gain some administrative experience. The Organ Scholar also acts as the Music Librarian and receives an additional fee for doing so.
To discuss at further length what the position involves and to enquire about applying for the acacemic year 2011-12, please contact the Organist & Master of the Choristers, Christopher Stokes.
Junior Organ Scholarship
