The college is thrilled to welcome the acclaimed composer Paul Mealor as a visiting Fellow. Professor Mealor is best known for the music he wrote for the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and for his chart-topping song “Wherever You Are”. He is also responsible for a wide range of choral music, some of which has been performed and recorded by the Selwyn choir. You can read about his work here: http://www.paulmealor.com/biography/






While at Selwyn during this Lent term, Paul Mealor will be writing a Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis – titled the Selwyn Service – for Choral Evensong. The music will be premiered in our chapel on Sunday February 26th.

He warned that the world is going through a dangerous phase: not just the Russian attack on Ukraine, but also China’s intentions and the current crisis in the Middle East. These changing circumstances were why Sweden decided to relinquish the neutrality that it has held for more than two centuries.
