Magdalen College Choir to admit girls as choristers
For the first time in its history, the world-renowned choir of Magdalen College is admitting girls to sing alongside boys as choristers.
The choir’s 16 young choristers are drawn from Magdalen College School, originally founded as the Song School for the College, which on 2 February announced its plans to become co-educational from 2027. The College subsequently took the opportunity to consider how best to integrate girls into the musical life of the Chapel and has now decided to offer choristerships on an equal basis to both girls and boys aged between eight and 13.
To assist in the integration of girls into the choir, the College will expand the number of chorister places to 18. The College will continue to pay two-thirds of the school fees of all choristers and will, in addition, establish a new top-up bursary fund to pay up to 100% of fees for choristers whose families need additional financial support.
“The College is immensely proud of its musical tradition, and we are delighted to reaffirm and expand our commitment to the Choral Foundation as we approach the 550th anniversary of the statutes establishing the Choir,” said President of the College, Dinah Rose KC. “From 2027, Magdalen College Choir will be open to all talented young singers, regardless of their sex or the financial means of their family.”
