Summer Events -
A season of Choral Evensong across Dorset in August.
Former King’s Singer, choral director and composer,
Jeremy Jackman, returns to Dorset this August
to lead the choir Laudemus, showcasing music for the service of Choral Evensong.
Taking its name from Latin for ‘let us praise!’ and singing
in venues across the county, the group has its roots
in the Wimborne Arts Festival of 1991.
The choir has returned each year since
then to bring cathedral-style Evensong
to country churches across Dorset.
Operating as an annual summer course,
singers come from all over the UK and
some from overseas. The repertoire is
wide ranging, with different music for each service on the tour.
