Members of the Selwyn College choir dedicated a concert in Victoria, British
Columbia, on July 18th to the memory of Professor Chadwick. The news of his death had come while they were on a tour of the
Pacific Northwest.


The Master of Selwyn, Roger Mosey, spoke at the beginning of the concert: "Tonight is about the joy of music, and the
pleasure we have in being in this beautiful city. But it is accompanied by our deep sadness at the passing of Owen Chadwick,
who was one of the greatest figures of Selwyn and of Cambridge. Owen would have loved the music tonight; and we dedicate this
concert, with our love, to his memory."


The Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia, Judith Guichon, attended the concert, and she is shown in the photograph below
with the choir, alongside Roger Mosey and the Dean of the Cathedral, and flanked by Selwyn’s chaplain Hugh Shilson-Thomas
and director of music Sarah MacDonald.
