WW1 Commemoration

Canterbury Anniversary weekend saw the choir premiere a specially commissioned piece at a free concert at the Air Force Museum at Wigram. The choir and Addington Brass joined together to perform the world premiere of ‘Pro Patria’, a work for choir and brass band composed by Dr. Philip Norman.
