The Choir of Belfast Cathedral

The Cathedral Choir is a voluntary body consisting of about thirty boys (including probationers) and twenty layclerks.

The Organ was built in 1907 by Harrison and Harrison and enlarged by them for its nave position in the south transept in 1975. It has four manuals and 70 speaking stops.

The nave of the Cathedral Church of St Anne, Belfast, was consecrated in 1904. The rest of the building followed in stages, completed by the consecration of the north transept in 1981.

Because the nave was built around the previous parish church, it is of exceptional height and breadth. A cathedral of the Church of Ireland, which is part of the Anglican Communion, St. Anne's is a centre for ecumenism and reconciliation.
