Join us for a transcendent evening at the Worcester Cathedral on Saturday, 3rd August 2024, at 7:30 pm, as we present the Three Choirs Festival highlight: Elgar’s "The Kingdom," performed by the Philharmonia with Adrian Partington conducting. This event promises to be a stirring conclusion to our residency at the 2024 Three Choirs Festival, featuring a lineup of exceptional soloists including Anita Watson (soprano), Rebecca Afonwy-Jones (mezzo-soprano), Toby Spence (tenor), and Ross Ramgobin (baritone), alongside the Three Choirs Festival Chorus.

Elgar's "The Kingdom" continues the narrative begun in "The Apostles," bringing to life the stories of Peter, Mary, and the Apostles with its sublime melodies. The work, dedicated to the greater glory of God by Elgar himself, features the moving theme of New Faith, the glorious depiction of Pentecost, and the devotional setting of the Lord’s Prayer. This performance is not just a concert but an inspirational journey through music, led by the critically acclaimed tenor Toby Spence and a superb ensemble of soloists.

Tickets are priced between £15 and £68, offering a range of options to experience this magnificent close to the festival. The performance will last approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, without an interval, ensuring an evening of uninterrupted musical bliss.
