About the Choir of Westminster Abbey
The Choir of Westminster Abbey is inextricably linked to British culture and Royal ceremonial tradition. While its exact date of origin is unknown, the Choir in its present form has resided at Westminster Abbey since 1560 when foundations established by Henry VI and Elizabeth I were established to provide for the choristers' education.
Today, the Choristers of the Choir are educated at Westminster Abbey Choir School , the only school in Britain exclusively for the education of boy choristers. It is a special place, offering boys from eight to thirteen a unique opportunity to be a part of one of Britain 's great national institutions.
