Sound of Wells Festival to include the WCCA

The Sound of Wells Festival will run from Wednesday 6th to Sunday 10th May 2026. This year’s Festival will include a special Evensong on Saturday 9th May with the Wells Cathedral Choir Association. Members of the WCCA will sing Evensong with the Cathedral Choir and the service will take place in the Nave. WCCA members will also be joined by the Chapel Choir of Wells Cathedral School and accompanied by a string orchestra from School. Former Choristers, Vicars Choral, scholars and organists of Wells Cathedral are invited to this special event as part of the annual gathering of the WCCA. This year’s repertoire will be Stanford’s Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in G major and the anthem Blessed City, Heavenly Salem by Edward Bairstow. This promises to be a particularly exciting chance to sing with a large choir in the Cathedral Nave, and we hope many will join us! For further information please visit the WCCA page.
