This Sunday afternoon we welcome you to our final contemplative choral service of the term.

The choir will be singing anthems from Parry's Songs of Farewell, alongside motets by Bruckner and Tavener. Poetry will include pieces by Vaughan, Rossetti and Waller.

The service begins at 5.00pm, and all are welcome. We hope to see you there!


RECITAL POSTPONED: Sat 6th July

It is with sincere regret we announce that today's Lunchtime Recital at St Clement's will not take place due to unforeseen circumstances this weekend. Apologies to all who were looking forward to today's recital by soprano Kristi Bryson. We will be rescheduling her performance to a future recital series.

Next week's recital by the Mitchison Ensemble will still be taking place, and we hope you are able to join us for that.
