RECORDINGS
Several live concert recordings are available, representing a good cross section of the Ensemble's performances. The small profit made on each sale helps finance future concerts, new sheet music and the day to day running of the group.
Several recordings are sold in aid of Durham Cathedral Choir Association
(registered charity no. 1078233), which supports the provision of music within the Cathedral.
The recordings are all available on CD and come with full programme notes. To order copies, please use the order form.
