End of Week Concert – Cranleigh Choral Week |
|
||
For the Cranleigh Choral Week concert at the end of the course, the main venue used is Guildford Cathedral. Designed by Edward Maufe, it is the only cathedral in southern England to be built on a new site since the reformation. It struggled into being through the depression of the 1930s, the Second World War and the austerity of the 1950s before finally being consecrated in 1961. |

It sits on the top of Stag Hill to the north-east of Guildford’s centre. It’s not what one would describe as a building of beauty from the outside compared to the other more established structures around the UK but it is constructed of bricks made from the clay on which it stands and Maufe’s objective was "to build anew on tradition, to rely on proportion of mass, volume and line rather than elaboration and ornament". Go inside, however, and it’s a different story. The interior offers an overall impression of elegant lightness and space created by the pale Somerset sandstone pillars, white Italian marble floor and the light flooding in through the tall lancet windows. It is just beauty in simplicity. |
