Concert: The full final sacrifice

Leicestershire Chorale and Leicester Cathedral Choir join forces for a concert of choral anthems.

This shared programme will explore some gloriously epic pieces from the Anglican repertory, including For Lo! I raise up by CV Stanford, The Twelve by William Walton, and Gerald Finzi's ever popular Lo, the full, final sacrifice.

David Cowen, the Cathedral's Organist, and Nick Scott-Burt, Chorale's accompanist, will add their own flavour and excitement to proceedings with organ solos and duets.

Join us on Saturday 23 March 2024 at 7.30pm. Tickets available!

Visit us

Leicester Cathedral is at the physical heart of our city and county.

Our church, built on the site of a Roman temple and dedicated to St Martin of Tours, has been embedded in the public, economic, cultural and religious life of this community for over 900 years. Since 1927, as the seat of the Bishop of Leicester, we now gather people together for worship, celebration, lament, debate and service of the poor and vulnerable.

We offer hospitality to the wider church, the communities of faith that make up our multicultural society and those who come as visitors to the East Midlands, especially in search of the story of King Richard III.

I invite you to join with us in this adventure.
