Acclaimed choral director returns with Laudemus Choir to Wimborne

Former King’s Singer, choral director and composer, Jeremy Jackman, returns to Dorset this August to lead the choir Laudemus, showcasing music for the service of Choral Evensong.

Taking its name from Latin for ‘let us praise!’ and singing in venues across the county, the group has its roots in the Wimborne Arts Festival of 1991. The choir has returned each year since then to bring cathedral-style Evensong to country churches across Dorset.

Operating as an annual summer course, singers come from all over the UK and some from overseas. The repertoire is wide ranging, with different music for each service on the tour.

This summer, Laudemus will visit churches in Broadstone (11 August), Lyme Regis (12 August), Trent (13 August), Blandford Forum (14 August) and the Minster in Wimborne (15 August).

The choir is accompanied for the week by Dorset-born organist Sam Hanson, who pursues a busy freelance career as conductor, accompanist and composer in both Dorset and London.
