Christ Church Cathedral is pleased to announce a “Beer and Hymns” singalong event on Friday, June 7 at 7.30pm. The unlikely pairing is a fun-filled format which has been sweeping North America and Europe by storm. (Just try googling “beer and hymns!”)
What, exactly is it? Beer and Hymns is an old-fashioned hymn sing with a twist! Guests will be treated to an evening of hymn singing, accompanied by the cathedral’s mighty Wolff organ. The cathedral’s concession stand will be stocked with beer, wine, non-alcoholic drinks, and snacks.
There will also be an opportunity on the night itself to bid to ensure that your favourite hymn gets included in the setlist. The best way to ensure you get to sing your favourite is by bringing lots of friends with you to vote together.
“I’m constantly reading about how singing together is good for your health,” says Christ Church Cathedral’s Director of Music, Donald Hunt. “We warmly invite members of other faiths and denominations – and of none – to come along and join in the fun. I can’t promise that pairing communal singing with beer will be good for your health, but I can promise a barn-burner of an evening!”
Admission by donation.
