Festival of Hymns to 'reinvigorate' Isle of Man Church Music Association

Singers encouraged to join in with restart of group

Efforts are underway to ‘reinvigorate’ the Isle of Man Church Music Association.

The group, which was founded in 1897, is holding a ‘Festival of Hymns’ on Sunday (30 June) to celebrate.

At one stage the association’s leader was the founder of the Manx Music Festival – Miss M L Wood.

Now it’s under the leadership of Dr Peter Litman, the director of music at Peel Cathedral, Reverend Joanna Fisher – who is assistant curate at Kirk Braddan - and organist Gareth Moore.

Dr Litman told Manx Radio he’d like everyone who likes singing to get involved:

The ‘Festival of Hymns’ will take place at St Thomas’ Church in Douglas from 2pm on Sunday; you can find out more HERE.
