1 Saint Cecilia Singers Saturday 2 March 2019 at Gloucester Cathedral 70th birthday celebration A free concert for supporters old and new
Former choir members are warmly invited to sing Evensong with the choir at 4.30pm followed by Sparkling Afternoon Tea in the Chapter House at 5.30pm. Then friends and supporters can enjoy a free concert in the Cathedral Nave at 7pm. The programme will be Duruflé’s Requiem accompanied by organist Christopher Allsop, alongside a selection of pieces performed at the Singers’ inaugural concerts on 17th February 1949 and 18th June 1950.
The concert marks the start of a year of celebration to include a concert and Evensong at the Three Choirs Festival in July and a new commission by composer Neil Cox to be performed in the spring of 2020.
Admission to Evensong and the concert is free. Tickets for afternoon tea are £7.50 with a celebratory glass of fizz. Previous members wishing to sing Evensong can sign up via the website www.saintceciliasingers.org.uk.
The Saint Cecilia Singers is Gloucester Cathedral’s chamber choir - an auditioned choir of around 30 enthusiastic and gifted amateur and semi-professional singers. It performs up to six concerts per year including an annual Christmas concert at Gloucester Cathedral as well as taking part in the Cathedral Choirs Days and occasional Evensongs. In 2016, the choir performed the world premiere of Philip Lancaster’s War Passion, commissioned by the Three Choirs Festival.
