Service for All Hallows' Eve: Thu 31st Oct, 7.30pm

We hope you can join us this Thursday for a reflective, candlelit choral service at St Clement's, as we explore themes around All Hallows' Eve, including a Commemoration of the Departed, protection from evil, and faith to join the Saints in everlasting light.

The joint choirs of St Clement's and the Erasmus Choir will be singing Purcell's Funeral Music for Queen Mary, with motets by Morley. Alongside scriptural readings, there will also be poetry from Shakespeare, TS Eliot and Malcolm Guite.

The service begins at 7.30pm, and will be led by Canon Nick Moir. All are welcome, we hope you can join us.

Sat 26th Oct: "Actus Tragicus" - Bach with the Erasmus Chamber Ensemble

This Saturday we're pleased to welcome the Erasmus Chamber Ensemble, consisting of a chamber orchestra and choir, in their performance of "Actus Tragicus" - a cycle of Bach cantatas, including his well known work 'Jesu, meine Freude'. They will be directed from the organ by Dan Tidhar.

The recital begins at 1.00pm, and as ever entry to the recitals is free, with a retiring collection taken to support our performers, as well as to contribute to the ongoing Organ Redevelopment Fund. We hope to see you there!

Taizé Healing Service: Fri 18th Oct, 7.30pm

Join us on Friday evening for a Healing service for the Feast of St Luke. We begin at 7.30pm with prayers, reading, Taizé chants, and reflective silence as we ask for God's healing and compassion in our lives.

In the service there will be the option, for those who wish, to be anointed with oil as a sign of receiving God's forgiveness and healing touch in our lives. There will also be an opportunity for the laying on of hands in prayer, or for someone to pray with and for you or others. All are welcome, and we hope to see you there.

Sat 19th Oct: Haydn and Beethoven with the St Clement's Players (recital)

This Saturday is the first of two concerts this series by the St Clement's Players. They will be performing an orchestral programme of Haydn and Beethoven, under the direction of Karol Jaworski. Haydn's Symphony No. 101 is the famous "Clock" symphony, full of charm, humour, and with that iconic and 'mechanical' second movement from which the symphony gets its name. Beethoven's Fourth Symphony is the composer through a kaleidoscope of emotion, full of passion, romance, drama and wit.

The recital begins at 1.00pm, and as ever entry to the recitals is free, with a retiring collection taken to support our performers, as well as to contribute to the ongoing Organ Redevelopment Fund. We hope to see you there!

His performance will include works by Purcell, Gibbons, Scarlatti, Couperin, Bach and Telemann.

The recital begins at 1.00pm, and as ever entry to the recitals is free, with a retiring collection taken to support our performers, as well as to contribute to the ongoing Organ Redevelopment Fund. We hope to see you there!
