Today is Good Friday, warmest Good Friday anyone can remember.
At the big minster church on the plain there was a devotional concert at 7.30pm the gothic interior cool after the heat of the day.
Instead of the choir the church singers performed the concert. About forty men and women, all ages. The men wore dark suits and blue ties, the women in black clothes and blue scarves.
The priest stood in front of them and said Good Friday had been a very long day, tiring and emotional. Because this was a devotional concert he requested no applause until the end. He then read the Collect and the concert began.
Bruckner, Brahms, Liszt - all expertly performed.
