Notre Dame Choir Making Waves on Radio Broadcasts
Notre Dame student Connie's reflection on Life as a Pilgrimage was the highlight of a spiritually uplifting Pentecost Sunday morning service broadcast on BBC Radio 4. The service, which took place at Leeds Cathedral, was a special celebration titled "Pilgrims of Hope" and featured the Notre Dame Choir and over 600 young people from the Diocese of Leeds, who came together to form a Massed Choir.
The service, directed by Elizabeth Leather, began with inspiring testimonies from young people from the Diocese of Leeds, followed by Connie's moving reflection and the beautiful music of the Notre Dame Choir. The Jubilee hymn ended the recording on a high note, leaving listeners with a sense of hope and inspiration.
One student who attended the event described the sound as phenomenal, while another called it a beautiful, harmonious moment. Bishop Marcus Stock, who listened to the BBC Radio 4 broadcast, wrote to express his thanks and congratulations for the service, describing it as spiritually uplifting.
The recording for Pentecost and the Jubilee Year of Hope was part of BBC Radio 4's Sunday Worship programme, and will be available until approximately the 6th of July. It is worth noting that the Notre Dame Choir also participated in a separate BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship programme recording on June 8th, but the details of that event are not related to the Pentecost Sunday morning service.
For those interested in finding more information about the Notre Dame Choir's involvement in Massed Choir events, it is recommended to check the official BBC Radio 4 website or contact Notre Dame directly. The Pentecost 'Pilgrims of Hope' service was undoubtedly a memorable event, and a testament to the power of music and faith to bring people together and inspire hope.
The Pentecost 'Pilgrims of Hope' service, with inspiring testimonies, Connie's moving reflection, and the magnificent music of the Notre Dame Choir, showcased the seamless blend of education-and-self-development and entertainment. For music enthusiasts, the Jubilee hymn, with its powerful tones, was an invigorating piece of entertainment within the context of spiritual upliftment.
