In addition to our two remaining Diocesan Evensongs of this academic year – on Jan 29th and April 29th – the cathedral choir will be travelling to sing evensong at St Paul’s Cathedral, Detroit on Sunday, March 25th and will be hosting the choir of St Paul’s Cathedral, Buffalo on April 29th.
These latter two new collaborations with our nearest sister cathedral choirs, are in preparation for a “Three Choirs” event being planned for the Spring of 2013 that will see the three choirs come together, here in London, for a weekend of music, both sacred and secular. While it is still at the early stages of planning, this venture is beginning to look very exciting indeed. We’ll keep you posted as the plans develop.
The choir will, of course, also be leading music at the Diocesan Ordinations, a Deanery Confirmation and the Synod service, and will be travelling to sing Sunday evensong in another five parishes of our diocese, bringing our total of these parish visits to eleven for this year.
Finally, and to explain the article title above, the Ontario Guild of English Handbell Ringers has, very generously, just loaned us a 3-octave set of hand chimes, so we will shortly be contacting our Saturday morning group to see how we can incorporate this new layer of sound into our music programme. If you are interested in joining us, please contact the Director of Music at 519-434-3225.
