This is another RSCM Singing on Saturday event at the Anglican Church in Den Haag. We will have a joyful day of exploring the wide variety of ways that Psalm texts have been sung throughout the church’s history. Focus will be placed on music and anthems that we can take home and use to broaden our own choirs’ repertoires. It is also, as always, a wonderful way to meet people and see old friends — please plan to join us!
Music will be sent via email within the next two weeks to all those who have signed up.
RSCM European Cathedral Singers members can look forward to another trip supporting the musical life of a cathedral in July 2020 – Portsmouth.
Please Note: Due to COVID measures, this event was postponed.
This year’s choral festival will be held on 6th July in Luxembourg.

100 years after the Armistice took effect at the end of the First World War, it was a privilege and a joy to participate at Notre-Dame de Paris in the traditional Remembrance Service held at the Cathedral each year since 1924.
RSCM European Cathedral Singers were guests of RSCM France for this event – coming together to form a choir of 64 singers supported by a brass ensemble and percussion.
There were many poignant moments in the special service – we sang the same Te Deum sung by the cathedral choir on Armistice Day 1918 and the bugle used to sound the Last Post and Reveille was used in 1918 on the western front to announce the end of hostilities.
The Tributes to incredibly brave forces members from a number of wars were told by serving officers and reminded us of the importance of remembering.
Among all of this, we found room for two world premieres – an atmospheric flute solo and a newly-commissioned anthem by Malcom Archer.
A singing weekend in Paris!
Join a special choir in the Notre Dame in Paris, led by Malcolm Archer. Practice on Saturday to prepare for a commemorative event on Sunday.
