The choir is currently formed of adult singers (who are either lay vicars, choral scholars or junior choral scholars), and teams of about 20 girls and 20 boys.
The cathedral accepted female choristers in 1995.
Lincoln was only the second cathedral in the country to adopt a separate girls' choir (after Salisbury Cathedral) and remains one of few which provides exactly the same musical opportunities and equal weekly singing duties to both girls and boys.
The choristers can now attend any school and are currently drawn from ten local schools.

The director of music is Aric Prentice, who conducts the choir of boys and men; the assistant director of music and sub-organist is Jeffrey Makinson, who conducts the choir of girls and men.
The organist laureate is Colin Walsh, previously organist and master of the choristers and the assistant organist is Hilary Punnett.

The records of cathedral organists at Lincoln are continuous from 1439 when John Ingleton was the incumbent.
Notable organists have included the Renaissance composers William Byrd and John Reading and the biographer of Mendelssohn, William Thomas Freemantle.
