In a breach with tradition, Gloucester Cathedral (est. 678 AD) is finally going mixed.

Announcement: Gloucester Cathedral is delighted to announce the establishment of Girl Choristers, who will sing as members of the Cathedral Choir for the first time in history.  Auditions will be held on Saturday 23 April for girls aged 7-12.
