Chichester Cathedral Platinum Endowment Trust for Music

Protecting our choral music tradition for future generations

Music is central to the life and worship of Chichester Cathedral. The choir, which has long been renowned for the excellence of its singing, is a significant cultural asset whose work is admired here and around the world. Maintaining a choral foundation of this quality is an expensive exercise, one that is challenged by the ongoing financial headwinds that began with the Covid-19 pandemic. 

To meet this challenge, and to secure the future of our choir, we have launched the Chichester Cathedral Platinum Endowment Trust for Music*. With an initial target of £5 million, this fund will produce a reliable income and ensure that future generations will continue to experience the transforming power of music, which is such a cornerstone of our Christian witness. 

The wonderful music at Chichester Cathedral can help us connect with the presence of God.
