The University of Winchester and Winchester Cathedral are hosting a series of events to mark the life and work of the late John Tavener.
The programme, which takes place on 11 November, includes a Memorial Evensong sung by the Choir of Winchester Cathedral, conducted by Andrew Lumsden, their director of music.
Soprano Patricia Rozario and duduk player Dirk Campbell will begin and end the service with short extracts from the all-night vigil The Veil of the Temple.
They will also play works never previously performed at the cathedral.
Following the Evensong, Lady Tavener will unveil a specially commissioned sculpture to commemorate Tavener, created by Angela Conner, with letter carving by Tom Perkins.
Also on 11 November, the cathedral will host a Study Day at the Tavener Centre for Music and Spirituality.
The programme includes talks and performances covering topics such as Tavener’s music, music and ecstasy, music and stillness, music and cosmos and jazz.
Practitioners from disciplines including music, theology and religious studies will take part, as well as clergy and leaders of music in liturgical settings.
