About the Concert

Commissioned in 1965 by the Reverend Walter Hussey for Chichester Cathedral, Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms seamlessly blends Hebrew liturgical texts with 20th-century rhythmic vitality. Building on a cherished tradition of participatory community sings, we look forward to welcoming musicians and music lovers to explore this celebrated masterpiece together.

Members of the community are invited to  engage with the score either as singers or as audience members within historic and beautiful Old South Church. Whether lending your voice to the ensemble or listening from the pews, this event offers a rewarding and uplifting collaborative musical experience.

The event is free but we ask you to register. Bring your own score.
