From the Very Reverend Gerwyn Capon, Dean of Llandaff

After several weeks of reflection, I have taken the decision to resign as Dean of Llandaff.

It has been an enormous privilege to serve the Cathedral community since my appointment in 2014. There have been great moments for us in the Cathedral, and despite its many challenges, it has provided a sense of tremendous personal fulfilment.

There are many clergy and friends that I will miss as I look back on my time as a priest in Llandaff – I will do so with affection and gratitude.

I would like very much to thank the many friends in the Cathedral community who have offered such encouragement and support over the years. To preach, teach and break bread amongst you has been one of the most humbling experiences of my ministry.

To God’s providence and care I commit you and should be most grateful for your prayers in the next few months as I try to discern where God may wish to lead me.

 

From the Right Reverend June Osborne, Bishop of Llandaff

In accepting the resignation of the Very Rev’d Gerwyn Capon as Dean of Llandaff I know that the communities of the Cathedral and Diocese will want to wish him well.

I would like to pay my own personal tribute to Gerwyn’s ministry in the Diocese, as a colleague, and at Llandaff Cathedral. I wish him all the very best as he discerns his future plans and ask that you keep both him and the Cathedral in your prayers as they move forward in hope.

Chorister Open Evenings
Tuesday 7th June (Boys) & Wednesday 8th June (Girls)

We are welcoming children aged 7-10 to our Chorister Open Evenings on Tuesday 7^th June (Boys) and Wednesday 8^th June (Girls) to experience what being a chorister at Llandaff Cathedral is all about. Visiting families will have the opportunity to meet the Cathedral’s Director of Music and staff from The Cathedral School, as well as hear from chorister parents, while the children will join current choristers to learn a short piece to sing at Choral Evensong.  Chorister auditions for September 2022 entry will take place week commencing 13^th June.

Please contact Stephen Moore, Director of Music, at [email protected] if you wish to discuss this opportunity.

Clare Sherwood, Head of The Cathedral School Llandaff, says, “Singing in a cathedral choir is a life-enhancing opportunity for children and we have been delighted to have been able to support Llandaff Cathedral Choir for generations. Creating equal opportunity for girls and boys to sing enriches our worship and I know that both choirs will go from strength to strength under the new arrangements.”

Canon Mark Preece, the Precentor of Llandaff Cathedral, “Choral music is at the heart of our worship all the year round and our choirs are a lively and joyful part of our cathedral community. This has been starkly illustrated during the Covid pandemic when restrictions on singing have made us all realise just how much we rely on music to express and enhance our worship. We are richly blessed at Llandaff in having an excellent and long-standing choral tradition. We are delighted, that our talented and committed young choristers will soon be sharing their Cathedral duties equally.”

Prospective parents are welcome to contact the Director of Music, Stephen Moore, for an informal discussion about their child’s potential for a choristership at Llandaff Cathedral.

We are opening our doors this summer from 14th-17th July for a festival in celebration of community.

Originally started in 1958 and running for an impressive 30 years, the Llandaff Festival was an important part of Cardiff life before the building of St David’s Hall. In the past the festival attracted large orchestral works, chamber music and piano recitals from renowned international soloists, and had an impressive record of commissions by Welsh composers including Alun Hoddinott, William Mathias and many others. In more recent times the Festival was briefly relaunched as part of the Organ appeal from 2008 – 2013.

However, this year, as Llandaff marks its centenary of officially becoming part of Cardiff and the world emerges from the dearth of culture COVID created, we have decided to create the new Llandaff Cathedral Festival as a celebration of community.
