Truro Cathedral

Truro Cathedral is the location of the annual runout concert for the St. Endellion Summer Festival.
It is a beautiful cathedral from 1910 and was the site of the first Nine Lessons and Carols in the UK (around Christmas time). Last night we performed Bach's B minor Mass in this wonderful space. It was played to commemorate the outbreak (to the day) of WW One. 

Here are some photos of the inside and outside of the cathedral.

View from side street. Note how the cathedral towers over the other buildings in downtown Truro.

It is a beautiful space to play (and worship).
