After being recommended to Westminster Abbey by  British  Composer and former Abbey Chorister, Philip W. J.  Stopford, The University Singers traveled to England and performed an Evensong at Westminster on the 16th of August, 2022. Upon completion of the service, The Singers were immediately issued an invitation to return by the Abbey hosts. 

“Having been invited to Southwestern Adventist University last February to premiere ‘God Is Our Hope And Strength’ it has been an absolute delight to welcome the Singers to the United Kingdom. The concert at Quarr Abbey and church services at Portsmouth Cathedral and Westminster Abbey were utterly wonderful. I was so impressed not only by the sound and musical mastery of this choir but by the way these young people engaged in the requirements of the liturgy and style of music required for worship in the Anglican Church which they performed so beautifully. It was a proud moment for me to have recommended this choir to sing at Westminster Abbey and for them to be immediately invited back at some point in the future. The choir also performed my recently composed anthem ’The Lord Is My Shepherd' in Westminster Abbey which I will never forget. Thank you so much for coming to the UK and sharing your gifts and talents with us, and I can’t wait to see you all again soon.”
