Norwich Cathedral Choir has released a brand-new album showcasing a selection of carols that has been recorded to celebrate the festive season - Lord of the Dance: Christmas Carols from Norwich Cathedral. The album was released on Friday 7 November on all major streaming platforms and features the choir singing 20 carols ranging from Away in a Manger to The First Nowell and Sussex Carol. In addition, the album is available in CD format from Norwich Cathedral’s gift shop for an introductory price of £10. This was recorded in Norwich Cathedral’s Nave in June this year, with the choir joined by music ensemble Onyx Brass and David Dunnett who retired as the Cathedral organist this summer after an incredible musical tenure of 29 years. Norwich Cathedral’s Master of Music Ashley Grote, who conducted the choir during the recording, said: “I'm really thrilled with our new Christmas album, Lord of the Dance, which is a collection of some of the best-loved carols, some in new arrangements. The combination of the Cathedral Choir, the newly rebuilt organ, along with award-winning ensemble Onyx Brass is a very special sound. It was wonderful to work on this project with Norwich-based independent record label Deux-Elles Classical Recordings; they have managed to capture a sense of what it is like to be in Norwich Cathedral at Christmas time. I hope that the album will bring a lot of joy to people this Christmas!”

Pupils from Norwich School, Ormiston Victory Academy and Framingham Earl High School enjoyed a morning of interest and intrigue during our annual Academic Enrichment Day. Offered to Academic Scholars and high achieving pupils, the day, titled "Crime and Mystery" introduced pupils to a wide range of in-depth talks. A highlight was certainly a keynote speech from Diane Ivory, renowned former Scotland Yard fingerprint expert and CSI who explained the fascinating role fingerprint idenitification plays in solving crime, including some of the high profile cases she has worked on personally. Pupils also then had the opportunity to become Crime Scene Investigators themselves, by donning hazmat suits and setting upon solving a crime. 16 workshops took place over the morning, including a workshop on blood spatters, crime deviance and identity, smuggling and signals and body language and deception. Our great thanks go to Diane, workshop leaders and pupils for helping to make for a very interesing morning!
