2011 programme
Evensong Commission
Durham University and the Book Festival have commissioned Don Paterson, the book festival’s Laureate this year, to write a new anthem that will be composed by Chris Totney and performed as part of the Cathedral’s Evensong. Join us tonight at Durham Cathedral Quire and Knave for the service when the work will be performed for the first time.
Don Paterson was born in 1963 in Dundee, Scotland. He works as a musician and editor, and is Professor of Poetry at the University of St Andrews. His collections of verse include God’s Gift to Women, Landing Light and the award-winning Rain. He was awarded the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry in 2010. Please note that this event will happen as part of Durham Cathedral’s Evensong.
