If you are interested, please contact our Musical Director, Martyn Rawles, who would be delighted to hear from you. martyn.rawles@lichfield-cathedral.org September 2021- Resuming rehearsals Our first in-person rehearsal since March 2020 is scheduled for Monday 13th September 2021. Initially rehearsals will be a little shorter and begin at 7:45pm. Everything is subject to change of course but we are very much looking forward to singing together in the cathedral at a variety of services scheduled between now and the end of the year. It is now well over a year since the whole choir met in person but we are managing to maintain our ‘spirit of togetherness’ whilst keeping within Covid restrictions and guidelines. We have become used to online rehearsals and social events, always with the hope and expectation of being able to rehearse in the Cathedral later this year. The online highlight was probably on Good Friday when we had a very enjoyable rehearsal, followed by a performance (to ourselves), of music appropriate to the day. Small numbers of singers have been able to take part in services in the Cathedral on a few occasions in recent months. It seems nothing is certain nowadays but the next planned occasion is on Saturday 26th June when a few members will be singing for the Solemn Eucharist for the Hallowing, Dedication and Unveiling of the new statue of St Chad. Find out more about the new statue and the Hope Garden where it will be situated. |
