Prometheus Consort

Best wishes and safe travels to all Prometheus Consort members travelling to Canterbury for our three-day residency at Canterbury Cathedral! Music over the three days will include composers such as Noble, Murrill, Bob Chilcott and Benjamin Britten, as well as the choir’s Artistic Director Thomas Mottershead, who has composed a piece specially for St. Anselm’s Day (today), a prominent theologian and philosopher who lived from 1033/34 to 1109 - and former Archbishop of Canterbury. We also welcome Assistant Director of Music at Llandaff Cathedral, Aaron Shilson, on the organ over the few days.

We are also thinking of everybody around the world who is saddened by the news of, and mourning, the passing of Pope Francis this morning. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

A massive thank you to everybody who took part at our weekend residency at Gloucester Cathedral! The weekend included music by Edgar Day, Herbert Sumsion (former organist at the Cathedral), Orlando Gibbons, Gioachino Rossini and Edgar Bainton.

We are now looking forward to next year for our first residency of 2025 - three days at Canterbury Cathedral!

We are greatly looking forward to singing services at the beautiful Gloucester Cathedral over the weekend of 24-25th August - in exactly one month’s time!

Wishing everybody singing a safe journey over the next 24 hours or so!
