The Choir of St Martin-in-the-Fields: Concert of choral favourites

The Choir of St Martin-in-the-Fields performs a concert of choral favourites at St Stephen Walbrook, St Martin’s partner church in the city. Music will include Renaissance masterpieces including Clemens non Papa’s Ego flos campi and Tallis’s O nata lux, Anglican choral standards such as Wood’s Hail, gladdening light and modern anthems and arrangements by living composers, David Bednall, Eric Whitacre and Will Todd. The choir, regular contributors to BBC Radio, is sure to come alive in the fantastic acoustic of Wren’s dome at St Stephen’s.
