CBS Music

CBS Music is the Choir and Orchestra of the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, Christchurch. The Cathedral Choir presents a Solemn Mass at 10:30 am every Sunday, exploring a wide repertoire through orchestral, contemporary, polyphonic and plainsong Mass settings. Regular concerts and recording opportunities, which feature the associated Cathedral Orchestra, include an annual St John Passion and Messiah. During nine overseas tours, the CBS Choir and Orchestra have performed in most of the world’s major cathedrals and churches.

The choir rehearses each Wednesday from 7.30 till 9.30 pm in the Music Centre, with a supper break at 8.45 pm. A wide range of ages and backgrounds is represented, united by a love of sacred music. Newcomers are always welcome, and will be given an opportunity to audition after a familiarisation period.

Anyone interested in joining as singer, player or supporter, is welcome. Further information, and contact details, may be found on the CBS web page - www.cathedral.org.nz.
