We hear that Graham Walker, Director of the recently scrapped St John’s Voices Choir, has not been resting on laurels.

He is the force behind the new Cambridge University Schola Cantorum, the university’s first liturgical choir, encompassing students from several colleges.

Based at Emmanuel College, where Walker is Director of Music, Schola will perform weekly services of candlelit Compline in a different chapel or church each Monday. It has also formed a partnership with Sheffield’s Steel City Choristers.

    How many choirs full of toffs does one university need in a country where most kids don’t have any access to music at all?

  • Rachelle Goldberg says:
