Students Perform Ukrainian National Anthem in Durham Cathedral

Durham University Choral Society began their performance with prayers and silence for Ukraine before singing Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy i slava, i volia. 

The anthem was the prelude to Choral Society’s concert of Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms and Mozart’s Requiem, under their new conductor John Forsyth, with Durham University Orchestral Society.
