Congratulations to the University Chamber Choir<\/strong>, which on Tuesday sang Choral Evensong at Canterbury Cathedral.<\/p>\n

The event was the first time in the history of the University that the Chamber Choir has taken part in the centuries-old tradition of choral evensong, and an auspicious occasion held in the very cradle of the Anglican church itself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Directed by Deputy Director of Music, Dan Harding<\/strong>, the choir sang music by Stanford, Smith and Faur\u00e9, to a packed congregation, comprising regular attenders and parents, as well as overseas visitors, in the Cathedral Quire.<\/p>\n

The Chamber Choir is back in action on Friday 1 June<\/strong>, and indeed back in the Cathedral, when it launches this year’s Summer Music Week<\/em><\/strong> festival with a performance in the Cathedral Crypt at 7.30pm; see all that’s coming up as part of the annual music festival celebrating the end of the University year here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
