Cantus Firmus is a charitable trust based in Suffolk and Essex, UK. Our aim is to enrich the worship, mission and spiritual lives of Christian worshipping communities and individuals through the use of the creative arts, and especially of music.
When not limited by Covid restructions, we run inter-church choirs in Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Colchester.
Meanwhile we are creating music resources for churches to use for online worship.

InHarmony Christmas 2020 Project
Faced with the prospect of a Christmas like no other, many churches will be looking to produce online Christmas services this year. To help with this, Cantus Firmus is working with St Edmundsbury Cathedral to launch a project to create music and worship video resources for churches to use throughout the Advent, Christmas and Epiphany season, using music performed by Suffolk musicians and singers.
We want to involve singers and instrumentalists from across the county, who are able to learn a part and record it at home using a smartphone. Singers will need to be able to read music (or have someone who can teach them their part); instrumentalists will need to be Grade 5 and above.
We hope to film some material in local churches, subject to current restrictions (no congregational singing, and only one or two musicians at a time).
The resulting videos will be made available via the Cantus Firmus resources page.
