It was wonderful to welcome back choristers tonight. We sang this little anthem by William Boyce, which works well in the Cathedral as it’s the same age as the building. Well done to our Junior Organ Scholar for some lovely continuo playing. #Derby #Derbyshire #Choir #Singing

🎵A wonderful day of music from our Voluntary Choir, with many members being admitted to the Guild of King Edmund at Evensong.

The Cathedral Choirs and musicians are now on half term.
