The Cathedral Choir sings seven services each week in term time. The choir began in its present form following the Victorian restoration of the Cathedral building and Llandaff Cathedral School was set up by Dean Henry Vaughan in 1880 to educate the boy choristers of the Cathedral Choir. The girl choristers were established by the Cathedral School in 1996 and, following an historic change in 2021, the girls were formally welcomed into the Cathedral music department and became part of the Cathedral Choir. From September 2022 full parity of opportunity was realised for boys and girls who wish to be choristers in Llandaff, and they now share duties equally. All the Choristers attend the Cathedral School which is the only remaining Anglican Cathedral School in Wales.

The Back Row of the Cathedral Choir is comprised of a talented team of adult lay singers and Choral Scholars who sing Alto, Tenor and Bass. They join the choristers in the weekly round of services, and in concerts, recordings, broadcasts and other events. The Choir has been heard internationally on broadcasts, most recently for a service attended by HM The King and Queen Consort which was broadcast live worldwide.
