An evening of singing classic German hymns in German
Tuesday 17th September 2024 7pm
The German hymn tradition is one of the finest, with a rich treasure
store of hymns from the majestic to the intensely personal stretching
back 500 years to Luther himself.
This event took place in a remarkable and little-known location:
St George's Lutheran Church, Alie Street, Whitechapel. It is the
oldest surviving German church in Britain, and dates from 1762. Its
interior, almost intact, is the perfect setting for singing these
wonderful hymns.
This is an evening event that was one of the monthly series of cultural evenings held at St George's
by The Historic Chapels Trust who now care for it.
