Praying by Heart: Archbishop Stephen Cottrell.
Stephen Cottrell’s latest book, Praying By Heart, the Lord’s Prayer for everyone, explores how the prayer Jesus taught his disciples is a pattern for life as well as a pattern for prayer. He suggests that it should perhaps carry a health warning: this prayer will change you! Come and find out why and how.
Church Going: The Curious Story of Britain's Churches. Andrew Ziminski. Chaired by the Dean of Winchester, Catherine Ogle.
Andrew Ziminski has spent decades as a stonemason and church conservator, acting as an informal guide to curious visitors. Church Going is his handbook to the medieval churches of the British Isles, in which he reveals their fascinating histories, features and furnishings, from flying buttresses to rood screens, lichgates to chancels. It is a celebration of British architectural history. Come and hear from an author with a unique perspective on churches.
Evensong
Reflect, listen, and contemplate this song sung at the even point between the active day and the restful night.
No booking required. Everyone is welcome to worship at Winchester Cathedral.
Concert by Papagena
The UK’s flagship female voice ensemble Papagena presents an uplifting programme celebrating the lives, loves and works of women with music sacred and profane, tender, witty and urbane. Ranging from medieval and renaissance works by Hildegard of Bingen and Leonora d’Este to contemporary pieces by Caroline Shaw and James MacMillan, Papagena’s recital vividly juxtaposes diverse styles and genres. Throw into the mix a Ukrainian lullaby, Bulgarian, Canadian and English folk music, Monteverdi, and a new arrangement of Kate Bush’s This Woman’s Work and you have something for everyone!
