The Choir of Westminster Abbey
St. James's BaroqueThe 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.
