Presidential visit to England
| |
In October FIPC President Jean Henric went to England with the mission to help relaunch a Federation of Pueri Cantores in England. After a visit to Cambridge and the King's Boys' Choir, he met with Bishop Peter Collins in Norwich. The Bishop proposed the 50th anniversary of the creation of the diocese of East Anglia as an opportunity to organise a gathering of children's choirs and thus relaunch the Pueri Cantores in England. This event is planned for spring 2026 and among the English choirs Bishop Collins would like to welcome a French, a German and another European choir. |
