Minster Communities- Important Meeting
2025-01-16 19:00 - 21:00 UTC | St. Catherine’s Church, Hinckley Road, Burbage, LE10 2DE
Minster Communities are groups of churches and fresh expressions working collaboratively and sharing resources to enable effective mission. Out of a process of discernment, reflection and conversation, about twenty Minster Communities will be formed by 2026.
In January and going forward we will be beginning conversations about the Minster Community process.
To that end you are invited to an evening to talk about our stories and the life we inhabit as a Church in our community.
16th January at 7:00 pm at St Catherine’s.
Please do come along and help us shape our response to this process.
A Minster Community is defined as “A designated group of parishes, fresh expressions of church and schools brought together collectively for mission.”

These are the Cries -Leicestershire Chorale Concert
2025-11-08 19:30 - 21:30 | St. Catherine’s Church, Hinckley Road, Burbage, LE10 2DE
Music for Voices, Bass Viol and Chamber Organ in the significant Anniversary Years of composers Orlando Gibbons, Giovanni Perluigi da Palestrina and Luciano
A programme to celebrate the music of three great composers of the past, paired with music from celebrated living composer James Weeks and with period instrumentalists Matthew Farrell and Nick Scott-Burt. 2025 is a major anniversary year for all three composers Palestrina, Gibbons and Berio, who each made a unique and telling contribution to the landscape of classical music history. In this concert, we seek to highlight music from each that might be slightly lesser-known to audiences, including Gibbons Cries of London, three movements of Berio’s vocal sequence of the same name and music from the Canticum Canticorum (Song of Songs) by Palestrina, paired with contemporary settings of similar texts by James Weeks, taken from his work Mala Punica and a more recent reworking of a Gibbons madrigal. Performing alongide the choir will be exciting young countertenor and bass viol player Matthew Farrell, former musical son of Leicester who is now making waves as a member of Westminster Cathedral Choir and with his viol consort Arculo.
