Rutter & Chilcott – A Birthday Celebration

In the year they turn 80 and 70 respectively, the massed BBC choral and orchestral forces pay tribute to some of the most enduringly popular choral music of our time, music with an unerring ability to capture a mood or a moment and which speaks to us with a direct, poetic elegance and evergreen vitality.

This concert will be recorded live for Friday Night is Music Night.
