The Llandaff Cathedral Music Foundation is being established to support, develop and expand the activities of the Llandaff Cathedral Music Department, and to enhance the status of Llandaff Cathedral as a hub for music-making and education of the highest order.
Our vision is to build a Foundation that will support and secure the future of the existing Music Department and Cathedral Choir, whilst creating further scholarships and widening access for more people to be involved in music-making. We aim to take music education into local schools to reach children who might otherwise be without provision and create more opportunities for them at the Cathedral through new music groups. We plan to put Llandaff firmly on the map, both locally and nationally, as an Arts centre of the highest calibre, in terms of musical output, reach and education, alongside its primary role as a historic place of worship.
The Foundation is actively looking for former Cathedral choristers to build an alumni association and is always keen to connect with those interested in preserving and securing the future of Cathedral music and reaching as many in the community as possible.
