Chapel Reflection for Holocaust Memorial Day

Wednesday 28 January, 5.45pm, Harris Manchester College Chapel

This term our Wednesday evening services and events 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 we mark Holocaust Memorial Day 2026 with a commemoration led by Dr Wendy Fidler MBE and our Chaplain, the Rev Dr Claire MacDonald. 

Our Wednesday evening services and events are open to all.
