Wednesday 11 March, 5.45pm, Harris Manchester College Chapel
This term our Wednesday evening services mark the journey from New Year to Spring, with song, poetry, prayer and reflections both silent and spoken.
Our theme this term, Singing the Journey, reflects the part that music – and especially song - plays in the life of chapel, through its choir and musicians. Our organ and piano music will be chosen by our organ scholar Alfred Kelsey and this term we will feature a new composition by choir member Riina Luha, as well as songs, hymns and psalm settings by Mark Miller, Amanda Ballard, Aaron Copland, Bob Chilcott, Orlando Gibbons, Herbert Howells, John Rutter, Peter Warlock, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gerald Finzi, and James Whitbourn.
This week's service is one of reflection and song, with music by our former Director of Music, James Whitbourn, who died two years ago, on 12 March, 2024. It will be led by our Chaplain, the Rev Dr Claire MacDonald.
Our Wednesday evening services are open to all.
