20 ST EDWARD’S CHRONICLE

Casper Sunley

Evensong at St Paul’s

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.
