BBC Radio 3 broadcast of Ash Wednesday service
Posted on: 6 March 2019
The Ash Wednesday service in the Chapel of St John's was broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 on 6 March 2019.
The service marks the start of Lent, and featured Byrd's 'Ne irascaris, Domine' as the anthem, with Weelke's Short Service. The Choir also performed Allegri's 'Miserere', without which no service on Ash Wednesday could be complete.
The broadcast is available to listen to online until early April.
