Oakham is preparing for an evening of sublime vocal music as the prestigious Peterborough Cathedral Choir travels to All Saints Church for a special concert on Saturday, 16th May. Beginning at 19:00, the event promises to transport the majestic, centuries-old atmosphere of cathedral worship into the heart of the Rutland community.
The choir, renowned for its precision and emotive power, has curated a "glorious programme" that highlights the rich heritage of British choral music. The evening will feature works by two giants of the genre: Hubert Parry and Michael Tippett. While Parry is beloved for his grand, sweeping melodies and mastery of the English choral form, Tippett’s inclusion brings a profound spiritual depth and a more intricate, modern texture to the performance. Together, these works will utilise the resonant acoustics of All Saints Church to create a truly immersive sonic experience.
In an inspiring move to make world-class music accessible to the next generation of listeners, the organisers have announced that admission for anyone under the age of 18 is entirely free. For adults, general admission tickets are priced at £15, offering a rare opportunity to see a professional cathedral choir in such an intimate regional setting.
Prospective attendees can secure their seats by contacting the music department via email at music@peterborough-cathedral.org.uk Whether you are a lifelong devotee of the Anglican choral tradition or a newcomer looking for an evening of peaceful reflection, this performance stands as a highlight of the spring cultural calendar.
