Wednesday 15 June 2011 Four Choirs Evensong at Eton College
The choirs of the Henry VI foundations of King's College, Cambridge and
Eton College, and the Wykhamist foundations of Winchester College and
New College sing evensong to mark the departure of Eton's Director of
Music Ralph Allwood.
The amicabilis concordia (friendly agreement) between Eton College, King’s College Cambridge, Winchester College and New College Oxford was signed on 1st July 1444. The relationship between Winchester and New College was the model for that between Eton and King’s, and several of those involved in founding Eton College had been at Winchester.
The four colleges pledged to assist and support each other in ‘actions, lawsuits and controversies’ as well as in a more general way, though the agreement specifies that any costs involved were to be ‘reasonable and necessary’. This was a formal document, with the four colleges’ seals affixed.
