Our very own Abbey Choir presents an evening of popular choral music throughout the ages, from Palestrina to Lucy Walker via Herbert Howells and John Rutter. Drawn from the choir’s cathedral-like repertoire sung throughout the year in the Abbey, there is something for everybody in this concert of choral favourites.
