Christ Church Cathedral Singers - Music for a Queen

  • Christ Church Cathedral St Aldates Oxford OX1 1DP (map)

Christ Church Cathedral Singers

Instruments of Time and Truth

James Morley Potter Director

Purcell - Funeral Sentences

Handel - Organ Concerto in F Op. 4 No. 4

Mozart - Requiem

In recognition of the national period of mourning following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, this concert will now not feature the Handel Coronation Anthems, but centre on the Mozart Requiem. The Cathedral Singers, along with their director James Morley Potter, a fine team of soloists, and Oxford's professional baroque orchestra Instruments of Time and Truth, will perform this special concert in the glorious surroundings of Christ Church Cathedral.

Additionally, Simon Hogan, organist to the Cathedral Singers, will perform Handel's buoyantly optimistic Organ Concerto in F. Purcell's funeral sentences will also add to the reflections of the event. This will be a fitting opportunity to memorialise the contribution of our late Queen with stirring music, beautifully performed by some of Oxford's top musicians.
