Former King’s Singer, choral director and composer, Jeremy Jackman, returns to Dorset to lead the choir Laudemus, showcasing music for the service of Choral Evensong.
Taking its name from Latin for ‘let us praise!’ the choir has returned each year 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.
This summer, Laudemus will visit churches in Shillingstone (12 August), Dorchester (13 August), Sturminster Marshall (14 August), Verwood (15 August) and the Minster in Wimborne (16 August).
The choir is accompanied for the week by Dorset-born organist Sam Hanson, who pursues a busy career as conductor, accompanist and composer in both Dorset and London.
