Choir Tour: Evensong in Hereford Cathedral

1 January: We sang one of our all-time favourite evensong settings, the Howells Gloucester Service, in one of our all-time favourite acoustics: Hereford Cathedral. The anthem was Lucy Walker’s ‘Away in a manger’. There is something really special about singing in Hereford Cathedral: the Norman architecture has a unique beauty, the acoustic is both richly resonant and immediate, and the organ has one of the most colourful tone palettes in the country.


Rehearsing the Howells Gloucester Magnificat before evensong in Hereford Cathedral on New Year’s Day: one of our absolute favourites in a very special place!
