Chapel Choir trip to Malta

13 July 2012

The Hertford College Chapel Choir have just returned from a successful nine day tour of Malta.

Seventeen members of the choir, including Chaplain Gareth Hughes, were conducted by Junior Organ Scholar Edmund Whitehead. The choir sang twice in St Paul’s Anglican Pro-Cathedral, Valletta: once to raise funds for the restoration of the cathedral organ, and again at the Sunday morning Mass. We also had a very warm welcome from the Franciscan Church of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in Sliema, where we sang at the evening Mass, and to raise funds to support Maltese university students doing charity work. One highlight was the singing of the Hertford favourite Bruckner’s Locus iste on top of the natural sea arch of the Azure Window, Gozo.

Hertford College Chapel Choir tour every year in December and July, and are always pleased to meet alumni wherever we sing.
