The Bishop Laney Foundation works in conjunction with Ely Cathedral and its Director of Music, Paul Trepte, to offer a scholarship to support a single chorister position throughout their 5-year period of commitment to the choir.
In 2018, the unique opportunity arose to share this scholarship between two choristers, twins, Matthew and James Allen.
Bishop Laney Trustees presented the twins with scholarship medals at a short presentation in Ely Cathedral. Also present were the twins elder brother, Thomas, a previous recipient of the Bishop Laney chorister scholarship along with their proud mum, Helen Allen.
Life as a chorister is definitely a major undertaking for these young musicians. For further background information please read Music Director Paul Trepte's insightful webpage:
