To mark the 50th anniversary of Benjamin Britten’s death, Canterbury Choral Society and Youth Choir will perform his popular cantata St Nicolas. This inventive work features dramatic storms and shipwrecks alongside touching scenes from the saint’s life, with audience participation in two hymns.

Joining the choir are the world-renowned London Mozart Players, who will also perform two of the finest English works for string orchestra by Elgar and Vaughan Williams.

Together with Holst’s moving Psalm 86, this promises to be an evening of rich enchantment and powerful storytelling.
