The Selwyn choir has a growing reputation for its musical excellence; and this autumn it will be commemorating the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War with a number of special events. A highlight will be bringing together the poetry of Wilfred Owen with music in the College Chapel on Sunday November 2nd, in a performance supported by the Wilfred Owen Association. It starts at 8.30pm, and admission is free.
There will be a Great War display in Chapel for the following week, ahead of the singing of the Duruflé Requiem on Remembrance Sunday at 6pm. This is the occasion when all the names from the war memorials are read out, in what will this year be a particularly poignant moment.
Other choir events in early November include:
All Saints' Day: Saturday November 1st at 3.30pm, Choral Evensong in Norwich Cathedral (free)
Armistice Day: Tuesday November 11th at 6.30pm, Choral Evensong in chapel
