This weekend the cathedral welcomes the visiting choir Exultate to sing its services on Saturday and Sunday, while the cathedral choir has one of its rehearsal weekends.
The rehearsal weekends normally take place twice a year; with the choir taking time off from its normal duties to prepare some of the more difficult pieces of repertoire for the coming months. It’s quite a gruelling processing, amounting to about 12 hours of rehearsal over the course of 2 days.
This time around we will be spending a significant about of time on preparing the Cloud of Unknowing by Francis Pott, for a concert performance at the end of term.
