InHarmony is the cathedral’s project to resource and equip congregations, to make the very best of music in worship, whatever the tradition, size or context. With an emphasis on musical and spiritual integrity, we want to enable churches and benefices to realise their musical potential and lift hearts and hands and voices in building the kingdom of God.

After ten very successful years, the project is ending on 31 December 2025.

Highlights of the project’s work have included:

The InHarmony Report – a comprehensive survey of music for worship in 444 churches across Suffolk

Crimson Glory – a commemoration in music and drama of the centenary of the end of WW1, with 250 performers.

Messy Messiah – a creative interpretation of Handel’s Messiah involving schools choirs, dance, drama and art.

Crown Him – an inter-chuch celebration in Ipswich with music led by choir and orchestra.

Pilgrimages of Song – walking between rural churches around Suffolk singing specially-written services at each.

Sharers in the Promise – a presentation for Advent, with adult and children’s choirs and drama.

The InHarmony Ensemble at Diocesan services in the cathedral, combining contemporary worship styles with choir and organ.

One-day workshops at the cathedral, covering topics such as World Praise, Iona, Taizé and All-Age Worship.

Establishing the Suffolk Music for Growing Faith Network of leaders involved in developing music activities for young people, with a faith-development pathway.

Many of these activities have been developed in partnership with Cantus Firmus Trust – a Suffolk-based charitable organisation encouraging the creative arts in worship. Richard Hubbard can be contacted via the Trust’s website.
