Today was day 2 of our Tallis tour: while the day was crisp and beautiful when I went for a quick walk around Canterbury earlyish by the time we were heading for the railway station to get the train for Dover it was damp and windy.

Dover Priory refectory, where out concert was is now in the grounds of a school: so no photos from outside. It had an amazing roof like the inside of a barrel and the sound was really good. Back then to Canterbury where we tried out some local beers with our hamburger lunch at a local craft brewery and gin distillery having got soaked on the way back from the station.

After that we spent most of the afternoon in the Cathedral, including attending the requiem mass for All Souls Day which featured the Cathedral choir singing Faure’s requiem as part of the mass.

Then it was on to the pre-concert talk for our evening concert and then back into the cathedral. It is special to hear this sort of music in the spaces it was written to be sung in – it adds to the experience.

Then we were done for the day! So what follows are some shots from my early walk around Canterbury, and also from inside the Cathedral.
