📅 Sunday 25 October
🕞 Concert: 3.30pm
📍 Henry Sandon Hall

Join Piers Adams (recorders) and David Wright (keyboard) — two members of the legendary Red Priest quartet — for a thrilling journey into the wilder side of the Baroque.

Expect extraordinary music by Corelli, Handel, Telemann, Castello, Bull, Uccellini, Marini, Van Eyck, Pandolfi, Royer and Biber — from little-known 17th-century composers to Baroque masterpieces.

We are seeking to appoint 2 Associate Soprano lay clerks to join two existing holders of the role from September 2026.

The Associate Soprano lay clerk roles were created in September 2025, made possible through financial support from the Cathedral Music Trust. These new posts provided the first regular opportunity for adult sopranos to contribute to the worshipping life of the Cathedral as members of the Cathedral Choir.

The one regular weekly commitment for Associate Soprano lay clerks is Evensong on Saturdays at 5.30pm, with a rehearsal from 4.30pm. However, there will also be times when the music department’s schedule is such that this will be swapped for a Sunday Eucharist or Evensong, for example. It is hoped associate soprano lay clerks will contribute to the singing of services at key points in the year including Christmas and Holy Week.

Associate Soprano Lay Clerks will be appointed and paid as external freelance contractors.

It is anticipated that there will be a maximum of 40 services on offer to Associate Soprano Lay Clerks over the coming academic year (2026 – 2027).
