Chester Cathedral Nave Choir perform their summer concert on 30 June 2011 under the direction of Laurence Lyndon-Jones.

The Concert will consist of the famous and amazing Three Shakespeare Songs by Vaughan-Williams as well as his challenging Mass in G Minor together with other English choral works.

The Three Shakespeare Songs are taken from the fine works  of The Tempest and A Midsummer Nights Dream.  Each pieces has it’s own intricacies with inter-weaving parts making the human voice play both the part of the singer and percussion in truly beautiful arrangements of this fine text
1. Full Fathom Five
2. The Cloud-Capp’d Towers
3. Over Hill, Over Dale

• The Mass in G Minor is full of amazing English cadences throughout – some more subtle than others.  Starting with a subdued and intense Kyrie the music moves through the traditional format in a weaving manner with the Agnus Dei as the climax splitting the choir into 12 parts!

We hope you can join us on 30 June for this wonderful concert.  Tickets are available from the Cathedral Box Office for just £10 each.

Thank you once again for your support!

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
