A delightful series of short instrumental concerts is now a regular feature for the Canterbury Cathedral Choristers after Sunday Evensong. Each boy introduces himself and plays a piece of instrumental music in front of parents, staff, and friends. The whole occasion lasts less than half an hour and there are no speeches! The pictures show some of the performers at the most recent concert, held in the library at the newly renovated Choir House.

Mrs Wassell’s Senior Choir House String Ensemble had been practising for the occasion over the course of several Wednesday evenings: here they are, waiting to go on.
