Jesus College Chapel, Cambridge

The Chapel's recently-restored historic brass lectern by Pugin is to be rededicated in honour of The Rev'd Dr John Hughes, our late, and much-loved, Dean of Chapel. The blessing and dedication will happen at the beginning of Evensong. 

Guest speaker Mark Williams, a close friend of John, will deliver an address on 'Music, Meaning and Manipulation' as part of this term's Chapel series on 'What did Evensong ever do for us?' Currently Informator Choristarum at Magdalen College in Oxford, Mark was Director of Music at Jesus College while John was Dean of Chapel.

All are welcome to attend the service, which will be followed by a drinks reception in the Prioress's Room.

For more information about the music sung at this service, or about this term's address series, please see the Chapel Termcards and Music Lists.
