Portsmouth Cathedral to host major Gregorian Chant course

Jan 6th, 2026

Portsmouth is set to resonate with the timeless sound of sacred music as more than 60 participants gather this Saturday, 10 January 2026, for the opening session of the Portsmouth Gregorian Chant Course, hosted at St John's Cathedral.

Bringing together both beginners and seasoned singers, this three-part workshop series offers a rare opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of Gregorian chant, explore ancient repertoire, and develop interpretative skills under expert guidance.

The first workshop will culminate in a sung Mass at 3pm, during which course participants will form a choir of more than sixty voices to perform the chants they have studied. The Mass, held at St John's Cathedral, Bishop Crispian Way, Portsmouth PO1 3HG, is open to the public.

The Portsmouth Gregorian Chant Course consists of three workshops, held on the second Saturday of each month: 10 January, 14 February, and 14 March 2026.
