Earlier this month, BBC Radio 3 chose to focus on cathedral music for its Sunday feature, with Eleanor Oldroyd speaking to Trustee, Canon James Mustard, in addition to visiting Sheffield and Exeter cathedrals.
From the BBC:
Eleanor Oldroyd investigates the major challenges facing some of Britain’s most cherished and historic musical foundations, as the Cathedral Music Trust warns of a sustainability crisis for Britain’s cathedral choirs. Eleanor travels to Sheffield to discover what happened after the controversial disbanding of their cathedral choir, and she visits other cities around the country to examine how different cathedral music teams are wrestling with dire financial pressures, falling recruitment and accusations of exclusivity.
