A lovely occasion this morning, which saw the dedication of the memorial bench to the late David Humphreys, a wonderful supporter of music-making at the University, and whose legacy continues to support the University Chamber Choir’s annual concert in the Crypt of Canterbury Cathedral.
The bench, which overlooks the historic Cathedral city from the hill between Eliot and Rutherford Colleges, commands perhaps the finest view of Canterbury, and was a favourite spot of David’s. Members of his family were present at the occasion, at which some of this year’s Chamber Choir sang Tallis’ If Ye Love Me, one of David’s favourite choral works.
Our continued thanks to David and his family for their terrific support, which provides a wonderful experience for members of the Choir each generation.
How very kind of you all at the University to pay such a tribute to our beloved Father. We will be at the next Crypt concert which all of us have in our diaries for 2019. Belinda
How lovely; we look forward to seeing you all then!
What a lovely article , and great to see picture of Dad doing what he loved most – listening to music.
