Sacred Music for a Summer’s Evening – with John Rutter
A unique opportunity for all who love to sing (and can read a bit of music) to spend a summer’s evening in the glorious setting of Downside Abbey, as part of the Downside Abbey Festival. You will perform a selection of beautiful choral works, under the direction of John. Music by Byrd and Tallis, Stanford and Rachmaninov will feature alongside a selection of John’s own works. Copies of the music will be provided.

John leads one of his popular singing days, with a mixed programme of works by great masters of choral music, with music old and new, including some of John’s recent pieces. A fun afternoon of music for singers at all levels!
