Sir Christopher Wren's churches are filled with song today in the Wrenathon

BGUK_2672427 - A celebration of community singing in historic architecture. What better way to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the death of Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723) - one of the United Kingdom’s greatest architects – than hundreds of people across London gathering together and lifting their voices in song in some of the churches he designed following the Great Fire of 1666? The Wrenathon is a unique vocal music marathon featuring singers from 11 community choirs across nine City of London churches on one, single day. The Wrenathon, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, is a day of glorious vocal music featuring hundreds of singers, with styles including gospel, a cappella, pop, immersive choral theatre, global and folk song, plus a wonderful variety of classical choral music featuring vocalists young and old. All the free performances are 25 minutes long: Midday - Singology Gospel Choir, a community chorus perform at All Hallows by the Tower.
