Indulge yourself in an evening of truly glorious English choral music, with works by Elgar, Howells, Byrd, Finzi and Leighton. 
The English choral repertoire provides a wealth of music to grace a sunny summer evening concert. The rich textures of Howells’ somber but beautiful Requiem are offset by the sunny, lyrical lines of Gerald Finzi and Edward Elgar.
Adrian Lucas says… ‘A glass of Pimms is not essential, but highly recommended, before or after at your own choice!’

Howells: Requiem
Organ solo – John Ireland: Elegiac Romance
