Choir of Christ's College, Cambridge

Past event
Jul 22, 2022, 7:30 to 9 PM

The Cathedral Arts Committee of St. Paul's Cathedral is excited to present the Choir of Christ's College Cambridge, UK, on July 22 at 7:30 p.m.!

Christ's College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge, and has had a chapel choir since its foundation in 1505. For this tour of the American East Coast, they will sing a wide range of music: Parry's Songs of Farewell, Howell's Requiem, Finzi's Lo, The Full, Final Sacrifice, to name a few, performing a variety of music from both religious and secular traditions.

Conducted by Professor David Rowland, Director of Music at Christ's College, the choir's raison d'etre has, since its inception, been to sing services in the college chapel. Choral Evensong is sung twice weekly during full term. More generally, the choir makes an important contribution to the life of the college, singing at feasts, weddings, memorial services, and other occasions. Today, as one of Cambridge's finest mixed-voice ensembles, the group also pursues an exciting range of activities outside the college, performing concerts in Cambridge and around the UK, recording CDs, broadcasting, and undertaking international tours each summer.

Friday, July 22, 7:30 p.m.
Tickets: Adult, $25; Seniors and Students, $20.
Tickets can be purchased at https://sevendaystickets.com/events/104361 or at the door.

CDs will be available for sale (cash or check only) during the intermission or after the performance.
