Come and Sing Stanford Evensong with Orchestra
This is an unmissable opportunity to join in with singing the beautiful service of Choral Evensong in the equally beautiful surrounding of Coventry Cathedral, alongside members of Coventry Cathedral Choir. The music marks the 100th anniversary of the death of legendary church music composer C V Stanford, on the weekend closest to his birthday. What makes this occasion really special is that not only will it be accompanied by the Cathedral’s iconic Harrison organ, but also swelled by the Warwickshire Symphony Orchestra in this rare performance (including Stanford’s uplifting Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in A) in the fully orchestrated version of Stanford’s music. Distinguished international conductor Nicholas Cleobury will lead the event. This will be a day to remember! The singing fee includes a souvenir copy of all the music.
