Celebration Day 2010

Saturday 15 May 2010, Durham Cathedral

The RSCM's annual Celebration Day service was held at Durham Cathedral on Saturday 15th May, celebrating the work of the RSCM both nationally and locally. RSCM honorary awards were presented to those who have contributed to our work and to church music, and those who have completed Sacred Music Studies and Church Music Skills courses.

A massed choir of over 300 singers from RSCM-affiliated choirs in the region was joined by the Durham Cathedral Choir, directed by Canon James Lancelot.

BBC Television was also at the service, filming for an edition of Songs of Praise broadcast on 18th July 2010 on BBC Two.
