@HFDCathedral @_cathedralmusic So richly deserved! Hereford is the perfect place for young singers and organists to develop their skills … they are so well trained and very well looked after in a beautiful environment.

[Hereford Cathedral @HFDCathedral]

We are delighted to receive an award from @_cathedralmusic to be able to support our music scholarships here at Hereford Cathedral.

Developing scholarships builds on a strong programme, securing and expanding musical and participatory excellence.

Thank you!

Yesterday evening @HfdCath_Choir finished their visit to France by singing Choral Evensong in L’église St-Pierre de Caen.

Earlier in the day, Geraint Bowen spoke to BBC Hereford & Worcester to talk about the choir's time in Normandy: https://t.co/QNqb7QM6bJ

This morning @HfdCath_Choir sang in the beautiful Basilica of Sainte-Thérèse de Lisieux. The Basilica has a fabulous acoustic with an 11 second echo.

The choir sang works by former Hereford Cathedral organist Richard Lloyd, Stanford, Bairstow and Wood.
