On Sunday November 21, the feast of Christ the King, the choir of the Metropolitan Cathedral will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its first participation in a service on that same feast day in 1960 in the Lutyens crypt. At that time the choir was directed by the cathedral’s first Master of the Music, Christopher Symons.

Fifty years later, on that same weekend, a three-day series of events will mark this milestone. On Friday November 19 a dinner will take place in the crypt for boy and girl choristers, their parents, the lay clerks, guests plus many former choristers who are returning to Liverpool for the
weekend.
