We return to Southwark Cathedral for our Summer Concert, which
links Bruckner's popular Mass in E minor of 1866 with music
by the Venetian composer Giovanni Gabrieli and two lesser known
works – Bliss's late cantata The world is charged with the
grandeur of God, composed in 1969 to words by Gerard Manley
Hopkins, and Corp's Missa San Marco, which was
premièred by Highgate Choral Society at St Mark's, Venice, in
2003. This work, recently orchestrated by the composer, is being
performed here in its original unaccompanied version.
Tickets £15 unreserved, available from GCU members or at the
door
Please note: The Refectory will be open for hot food
and light snacks through to 7.30 pm on a first-come-
first-served basis.
