Vivaldi’s ‘Gloria’ to form the centrepiece of Minerva Voices’ Crypt concert next week

Vivaldi’s enduringly popular ‘Gloria’ forms the centrepiece of the annual Crypt Concert at Canterbury Cathedral next week, in a performance for upper-voices by Minerva Voices.

The University’s auditioned upper-voices chamber choir will bring the Crypt to shimmering life on Friday 26 February with Vivaldi’s masterpiece, in a programme that also explores repertoire from the medieval to the present day. The first half of the concert will include works by Hildegard von Bingen, Mozart and Brahms, as well as Veljo Tormis’ filigree ‘Spring Sketches’ and Bob Chilcott’s radiantly colourful ‘Song of the Stars.’

Join us on a voyage charting choral music across the centuries and Vivaldi’s crowning glory, in the magical surroundings of the Cathedral Crypt on Friday 26 February at 19.30. More details online.
