Crown Imperial
Queen’s Diamond
Jubilee Concert
Chelmsford Cathedral
will be the venue on Saturday 26 May for a special concert to celebrate the Queen’s
Diamond Jubilee.
Under the direction of Oliver Waterer the
Cathedral Choir and
Consort, accompanied by the organ with brass and percussion, will perform much of
the music sung in Westminster Abbey at the Coronation Service in 1953. The concert is
being supported by the Chelmsford Borough Council and M & G Investments.
The evening provides a
rare opportunity to hear the music sung during the Coronation Service. It features
lavish settings and anthems that span four centuries and will include Handel’s
‘Zadok the Priest’, ‘I was Glad’ by Hubert Parry and William Walton’s thrilling
‘Coronation Te Deum’.
Conductor, Oliver
Waterer said ‘In addition I am delighted to say that we will have the Sub-Dean of Her
Majesty’s Chapels Royal, the Revd Prebendary William Scott, to commentate on the
Programme and give us a fascinating insight into the Coronation Service and its music.
This will be a wonderful evening and an exciting way to start celebrating the Queen’s
Jubilee’.
The concert starts at
7.30pm and tickets are now on sale at the Civic Theatre Box Office, telephone 01245
606505, or online at www.chelmsford.gov.uk/theatres priced at £20, £15
