Choir Tours
The Choir travels both within the United Kingdom
and abroad to perform concerts and sing services in cathedrals and churches. These
occasions broaden the choristers' experience and take them to places they would probably
never otherwise visit.
Previous tours have included France, Germany,
Belgium, the Czech Republic, and most recently Haarlem in Holland.
The Lincoln Cathedral Choir Association actively
supports these tours by fund-raising in a variety of ways.
The Choir Tour to Haarlem
The Choir of Lincoln
Cathedral set off on the 6th July for Haarlem. The group of girls, boys,
men, directors of music, organists and helpers totalled over fifty
people. The coach travelled from Lincoln to Hull, where everyone joined
the ferry for an overnight trip to Rotterdam. Over the next few days,
the Choir gave recitals and sang services at various venues, including
St Bavo's Cathedral.
