Choir Residency at York Minster, York, UK

July 20-28, 2025

For over a thousand years, York Minster's magnificent spaces have resounded with choral music. The Christ Church Choir will join that tradition as a visiting choir in July 2025. Led by our director of music, Bruce Barber, the choir will sing at the daily worship and Sunday services in the Minister. This is the third residency our choir has made in England and builds on the choir's ministry in the Anglican choral music tradition, developed over 110 years of Christ Church’s worship.

You may accompany the choir during their residency in York. Accommodations include 8 nights lodging at the Doubletree by Hilton Monkbar Hotel, all breakfasts, and two evening meals. Companions are free to explore the city and surrounding area on their own each day.

Cost: $1300 per person with $650 upgrade for single accommodations, excluding airfare. 

This residency is fully subscribed. Please contact Mike Sayer to add your name to a wait list.
