The wedding of Dr Andrew Lumsden to Leona Mani took place on Saturday at the Chapel of St Cross, Winchester.
The Bishop of Basingstoke officiated and 250 guests were treated to spectacular music sung by the lay clerks, and current and old choristers of Winchester Cathedral Choir, conducted by David Hill MBE. The bride walked in to Parry’s ‘I was glad’, and there was music from the Mozart Coronation Mass, Durufle ‘Ubi Caritas’, and Whitacre ‘This Marriage’ – all alongside a hymn with a new descant, which was composed by Andrew Lumsden especially for the occasion.
Andy was recently ousted as director of music at Winchester Cathedral, since when the cathedral has been under investigation for allegations of bullying and other anti-social conduct.
We wish the couple every happiness.
