Tenth anniversary of arts festival
This year¹s Nelson Arts Festival church service at the Cathedral marks the tenth anniversary of this popular annual event.
The service will be held at 6pm on Sunday October 19, and will feature a trumpet fanfare, Wearable Arts models, the Cathedral Choir, Mosaic World Music Choir and Belle a Cappella from Waimea College.
People will be able to hear and sing the new 150th hymn composed for the city¹s anniversary celebrations, with music by Bishop Richard Ellena and words by Dean Charles Tyrrell. The Dean says the service reflects the creativity of the Nelson region at this time of year.

The arts speak to us body, soul and spirit and the arts festival service acknowledges that with movement, music and visual art.²
