Philip Hayes Directs The Music

A fundraising sermon with musical performances, to raise money for the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.

Visiting musician and later Professor of Music at Oxford, Philip Hayes directed the music which included his own anthem and a programme of mainly compositions by Handel.

Performers were required to attend three rehearsals. On the day of the service, music bookended the sermon, which was usually delivered by a visiting preacher or other distinguished clergymen from the diocese.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for over 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
