On Sunday 16th February 2025 the Choir of Great St Mary’s Cambridge will sing Choral Eucharist at Bradford Cathedral at 10:30am.
On Sunday 16th February 2025, Bradford Cathedral will welcome the Choir of Great St Mary’s Cambridge as their second visiting choir in the City of Culture year.
The Church of St Mary the Great is the University Church of the City of Cambridge. The choir is made up of children and youths drawn from local schools who join together with adult volunteers to sing at least three choral services each week during school term.
The choir is directed by Bradford Cathedral’s former Director of Music, Alexander Berry.
Pieces performed in the service will include the Missa Brevis by Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodály; the Agnus Dei, in which a trio of our choristers will sing a ‘top C’, a note so high it’s normally not sung in the choral repertoire; and Beati quorum via by Charles Villiers Stanford.
Alexander Berry says of the service:
“We’re really looking forward to seeing you all and to worshipping together in a very special place. It’s a great privilege for Great St Mary’s choir to be able to sing at Bradford Cathedral – and I look forward to seeing familiar faces!”
All are welcome to the service of Choral Eucharist on Sunday 16th February 2025 at 10:30am at Bradford Cathedral. The service will also be streamed online on the Cathedral’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.
