Music Staff
Introducing our music department.
The cathedral music department, led by the Organist and Master of the Choristers, includes the Assistant Organist and Director of the Girls' Choir, Organ Scholar, Music and Liturgy Assistant and Choir Matron.
Programmes at Chelmsford Cathedral are busy and varied, encompassing choral services and concerts in the cathedral and across the diocese, with frequent visits to venues around the region and abroad.
Mr James Davy
Organist and Master of the Choristers
James Davy has led the music department at Chelmsford Cathedral since 2012 and is responsible for overseeing a varied and engaging musical programme involving boy and girl choristers, school-age and adult singers, who sing the Opus Dei on most days of the week.
Aside from Cathedral and diocesan services, the choirs take part in an annual concert programme in the Cathedral, as well as making visits around the diocese from time to time.
James is also involved with school visits and other visiting groups, making the Cathedral organs accessible to people often for the first time. As Cathedral Organist, James is also musical director of the Chelmsford Singers, a mixed-voice choir that performs frequently in the Cathedral, often in collaboration with the Cathedral choirs.
