New Anthem for our Choir by Christopher Gower

On Sunday 9th July, our choir sang a new anthem at our Sung Eucharist that had been composed especially for them by Christopher Gower. Christopher has had a long and distinguished career as a cathedral Organist and Choirmaster, holding positions at Exeter Cathedral, Portsmouth Cathedral and Peterborough Cathedral. On his retirement he moved to Canterbury.

Having given the world premiere, our choir will be giving the London premiere in Southwark Cathedral on Sunday 16th July.
