ST EDWARD’S CHRONICLE
In October, senior members of
the Chapel Choir led the singing
of Choral Evensong at St Paul’s
Cathedral in London. The programme
was challenging, particularly after
only three weeks of term, but the
pupils enjoyed the ethereal sounds
of Howells’ Collegium Regale setting
of the canticles, and the powerful
Evening Hymn by Balfour Gardiner.
Solos in the Howells’ Nunc Dimittis
were ably sung by Jamie Fabian-Hunt
(
Christ Church Cathedral
) and Myles
Docherty (
Pilgrims’
).
Don’t miss
Land of our Fathers
by Chris
Urch at The North Wall on 9th and
10th February. It’s May 1979 in South
Wales. Margaret Thatcher is counting
her votes, Sid Vicious is spinning in
his grave and six Welsh miners are
trapped down a coal mine. As the men
await their rescue, secrets emerge and
accusations fly. Within two weeks,
everything they believe in and everything
they know will have changed. Winner of
Time Out’s Critic’s Choice and Fringe
Show of the Year 2013, Chris Urch’s
critically acclaimed debut play is packed
full of blistering comedy and echoes a
generation of lost voices. Presented by
Theatre503, Tara Finney Productions
