Where:

The vigour of St James's Baroque was a constant pleasure... the Abbey choristers delivered the choruses with panache and a finely blended sound.' THE TIMES

Vivaldi Concerto for strings in G minor, RV156
Vivaldi Gloria
Handel Dixit Dominus

Julia Doyle soprano
Charlotte Mobbs soprano
Clare Wilkinson mezzo-soprano
James O'Donnell conductor

The Choir of Westminster Abbey
St. James's Baroque


The UK's premier cathedral choir performs two of the most popular works in the Baroque choral repertoire. Vivaldi's Gloria is the most famous and best-loved of his many sacred works, mixing choral verve with lyrical beauty; while Handel's high-energy psalm-setting Dixit Dominus, written when he was a young man in Italy, is one of the most astonishing of all his compositions - the ambitious, vital and virtuosic work of a bright young talent boldly throwing his hat into the ring.

Tickets ?35 (very limited availability), ?28, ?22, ?18, ?15, ?10 (no view). Meetup details to follow.
