To mark the 400th anniversary of the death of William Byrd (c.1540-1623), Christ Church will host a one-day event on Tuesday, 7 November 2023, comprising a symposium, exhibition in the Upper Library*, and evensong, ending with a small drinks reception in the cathedral Chapter House to launch the new Digital Image Archive of Medieval Music (DIAMM) facsimiles of Byrd's Liber Sacrarum Cantionum I & II (1589 & 91) and his joint publication with Thomas Tallis, Cantiones Sacrae (1575).

* We regret that access to the Upper Library is by a large spiral staircase only, and may cause difficulty for anyone with limited mobility.
