Deeply moving, profound and powerful, its status as one of the greatest monuments of choral music is unchallenged. Balancing serenity and melancholy the final songs written by Richard Strauss are among his most exquisite creations as he bids farewell to life and art.

  • Lichfield Cathedral School STATEMENT of BOARDING PRINCIPLES and PRACTICE
    Lichfield Cathedral School STATEMENT OF BOARDING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE Introduction The School was re-founded in 1942 (as St Chad’s Cathedral School) principally as a boarding school for the choristers of Lichfield Cathedral. However, non-chorister pupils have been admitted from the beginning. Until 1981 the School was owned and governed by the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral. However, since that date it has been a fully independent, coeducational preparatory school, known as Lichfield Cathedral School, until the decision was taken to move into secondary education in 2005. The school opened the Sixth Form in September 2010. Boys and girls are admitted at any time from the age of 3, choosing either to move on to other Schools at age 11, 13 or 16, or remain at the Cathedral School for their secondary education. There are presently 460 children in the School aged 3 – 18. School Mission Statement Lichfield Cathedral School is committed to creating and maintaining an educational environment which nurtures, nourishes and stimulates young minds and talents; where children may gain a thorough academic foundation; and where daily life is conducted according to Christian values and the experience of Christian worship. The School is determined to provide a secure and ordered framework within which children and young people may grow in self-esteem and confidence, discover the riches of successful participation and achievement, and develop a spirit of generosity and service to the wider community. Boarding at Lichfield Lichfield Cathedral School currently provides a maximum of 24 boarding places for boys aged 8 – 13 accommodated within the Grade 1 listed building known as The Palace in the Cathedral Close.

Worship attendance (page 7) • A total of 37,300 people per week (82% adults and 18% children aged under 16) were reported attending usual cathedral services in 2019, a similar number to 2018 (37,100).

  • Wells Cathedral, but ‘We Had a Very Listed Building Control
    WELLS 01 PROJECT ARCHITECT: CATHEDRAL Martin Stancliffe, New entry cloister, Education and Music Purcell Miller Tritton Resource Centre, chapter house CATHEDRAL ARCHITECT: undercroft, works yard Peter Bird In some ways, the great medieval cathedrals are dinosaurs: creations of another era, fascinating, impressive and inspiring – but ill-equipped for the demands of the twenty-first century. Yet their continued significance is not to be doubted. Wells attracts some 470,000 visitors a year,170,000 of whom attend one of the 1,730 services, concerts, educational visits and other events organised by the cathedral. That’s almost five events a day, each with its own logistical demands, each attracting a different public. So it is easy to understand why the chapter at Wells had, by the late 1990s, begun to feel as if they were reaching a kind of evolutionary crossroads. There was no safe accommodation for visiting school groups, no disabled access to many areas of the cathedral church itself, and no covered route to the visitors’ toilets. The cathedral shop and restaurant occupied one walk of the medieval cloister; part of the Song School filled another. Girl choristers practised in the chapter house undercroft, which had otherwise become a large storeroom; choirs of both sexes robed here, too. Child protection legislation and the Disability Discrimination Act increased the imperative for change. The status quo was untenable. It took some time for the right solution to emerge. The first scheme was opposed by several consultees. It took all the negotiation skills of the cathedral authorities and planning advisors, including English Heritage and the CFCE, to arrive at the eventual answer – a design which balanced the building’s extraordinary significance with the needs of modern users and which was capable of attracting consent and funding.

We have been running singing outreach projects we call “Music Share” since 2003, most recently in partnership with the Entrust Music and Performing Arts Service and Stoke-on-Trent City Music Service. We have worked with over 10,000 children over these years. As part of our partnership with the services we have developed some ‘Curriculum Singing Days’, which we have been running for a number of years. Our aim is to continue to improve young people’s enthusiasm for singing by providing quality training to help both staff and children improve, have fun, learn new activities and songs which they can take back to school and teach to others. These are core objectives of the National Music Plan to 2020. We hope that you will want to bring some children and staff along to participate in one or more of the workshops. Please note that these sessions are directed at all pupils to encourage a love of singing. You will find further details and a booking form following. If there is any other information or help you need, please don’t hesitate to contact me, either by phone or e-mail, as above.

  • Life & Learning @ Ludlow
    LIFE & LEARNING @ LUDLOW Unscrambling issues of life and faith Programme January 2021 to March 2021 The Parish Church of St Laurence, Ludlow (A member of Churches Together Around Ludlow) About Life & Learning Life & Learning is the name of an adult learning programme which seeks to broaden understanding and initiate debate on theology, social issues and the arts. The programme offers a range of opportunities for study and learning. It is intended to stimulate the interest of people of faith who want to reflect deeply on how their faith impacts on their engagement with the world around them, and also appeal to those with no strong faith commitment who are interested in exploring the Christian perspective on contemporary issues. Arranged by the Parish Church of St Laurence, Ludlow, (a member of Churches Together Around Ludlow) the events are open to all people from the town and beyond, regardless of religious affiliation. Copies of this leaflet can be downloaded from our website: www.stlaurences.org.uk/life-and-learning. We also welcome enquiries at: Life & Learning @ Ludlow 2 College Street LUDLOW Shropshire SY8 1AN Email: [email protected] Tel: 01584 872073 A note about the 2021 programme After months spent considering where and how the next series of Life & Learning lectures might take place, I am delighted to announce that, subject to such protective measures in place at the time, St Laurence’s Parish Church has confirmed that it will be able to accommodate a foreshortened Life & Learning @ Ludlow lecture series early in 2021 in a Covid-19 secure way. Inevitably this will mean that requirements over social distancing, the wearing of face masks, venue check-in and a limit on numbers attending will all need to be applied.
