Sing to the Lord A New Song

An extraordinary evening of music in the magnificent setting of the Chapel of St Peter & St Paul. The Monteverdi Choir, accompanied by the English Baroque Soloists, will perform two of Bach’s miniature masterpieces, followed by Handel’s Dixit Dominus.

This collaboration between the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists promises to unleash the full range of their expressive potential, from the echoing intimacy of Purcell’s Funeral sentences to Handel’s virtuosic vocal and instrumental writing.
