Carlisle Cathedral's free afternoon recitals continue with The Gloriana Choir
While entry to our concerts is complimentary, we encourage contributions during the collection at the end of each performance to support both the talented artists and the Cathedral. Your generosity will help us continue to bring such events to the community. We look forward to seeing you there!

The Gloriana Choir is only six months old. A group of singers met earlier this year to sing through a choral work recently composed by Charles Edmondson. Following this, it was decided to form a small choir to rehearse and perform both sacred and secular pieces. The choir comprises six sopranos, six contraltos, two tenors and two basses.
The Ladies’ section of the choir will be giving its first concert in the Fratry Hall. They will be performing a variety of pieces from around the world, ranging from a piece which was composed in the precincts of Carlisle Cathedral to four pieces from America.
Members of the choir come together from a wide area in South Lakeland and are directed by Charles Edmondson who lives in Kendal and from a very early age has been involved with several choirs, as a singer, conductor, accompanist, administrator, librarian and arranger and composer of choral works. He has just completed writing a choral setting of the Mass / Holy Communion.
Concert starts at 2pm.
