Visit by Choir of Trinity College Dublin

On 22 June we welcomed the Chapel Choir from Trinity College, Dublin, to sing at the Eucharist.

The College, with university status, is one of the ancient Irish institutions, belonging to The Church of Ireland, part of the Anglican Communion. It is represented in the Irish Parliament.

It enjoys a reputation for musical excellence and we were delighted that the Choir included us in their programme during their visit to Hamburg.

Trinity College was founded in 1591, admitted women to degrees in 1903 and has in its library the ancient Book of Kells, one of the finest illuminated manuscripts of the Gospels.
