Sacred Heart Cathedral Bendigo Choir Scholarships

The Sacred Heart Cathedral Choir in Bendigo is currently wishing to recruit new members from amongst students at local Catholic and Christian secondary colleges.

The mixed-voice Cathedral Choir (of sopranos, altos, tenors and basses) currently comprises around 36 members, approximately one third of whom are on scholarship. 

The scholarships, currently valued at $1,200 per year, offer a wonderful opportunity for students to contribute towards the liturgy at Sacred Heart Cathedral and to further their musical education and appreciation. 

The Cathedral Choir sings music from the Church’s rich tradition of Gregorian chant and polyphony in Latin and English, plus traditional and contemporary hymnody and psalmody from Catholic and ecumenical sources.

Rehearsals are held in the Cathedral Hall (or in the Cathedral during COVID-19 restrictions) on Thursdays during school terms from 6:30-8pm, and on Sundays from 9:45-10:30am in the Cathedral, prior to the 11am Mass.   

The Choir also sings at Christmas services and Easter ceremonies, and Diocesan celebrations (e.g. Chrism Mass on Tuesday of Holy Week and Ordination liturgies from time to time).

Auditions will be held at the Cathedral on Saturday 4 December 2021 from 10am.
