Description: |

Against the wonderful backdrop of Guildford Cathedral, Bracknell and Wokingham Choral Societies will perform The Dream of Gerontius, widely regarded as Elgar's finest choral work.
With 200 singers, 3 phenomenal professional soloists, the 60-piece British Sinfonietta orchestra, underpinned by the Cathedral's mighty organ, this concert will be a not-to-be-missed performance of epic proportions.
As Elgar himself described it (quotating from John Ruskin's Sesame and Lilies):
'This is the best of me; for the rest, I ate, and drank, and slept, loved and hated, like another: my life was as the vapour and is not; but this I saw and knew; this, if anything of mine, is worth your memory.'
Tenor: Jonathan Cooke
Mezzo soprano: Felicity Buckland
Bass: Patrick Keefe
Organ: Ben Giddens
Chorus Master: Greg Hallam
With the British Sinfonietta directed by George de Voil
