We are fortunate to have Kevin Kraak at the organ for this service. The anthem by John Joubert is sung in memory of this South African-born composer who died in Birmingham on 7 January 2019.
This will be the last Evensong to be directed by George King before his retirement as Director of Music at Christ Church on 10 February.
