ChristChurch Cathedral Choir : 2008 World Tour

by paul last modified Aug 13, 2008 09:36 AM

Taking ChristChurch Music to the World

MusicThe ChristChurch Cathedral Choir was invited to sing in some of the world's greatest cathedrals in July/August 2008.  The 16 boys and 12 men sang in Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, Cambridge, Coventry, Oxford (including at Christ Church), Exeter, Hereford and Gloucester, beginning in Grace Cathedral, San Francisco.

This was the first time this cathedral's choir has visited Britain, the home of choral music, in its 126 years of existence.  The choir's excellence was recognised by visiting British Cathedral choir directors, who invited the choir to sing at cathedral services and give concerts across Britain.

The choir has received many accolades during the tour.  We are very pleased to have them back home with us again.   CONGRATULATIONS.
