Britain's What's On Event Guide
Crowning Glory - Waverley Singers Concert
An evening of glorious coronation music, celebrating how composers over the centuries have helped celebrate these triumphal occasions.
Our programme covers the nearly 300 years from Handel's 'My Heart is Inditing', composed for the coronation of King George II and Queen Caroline in 1727, to Roxanna Panufnik's 'Coronation Sanctus', commissioned by HM King Charles III for his own coronation in 2023.
We shall also be performing William Boyce's 'The King Shall Rejoice', written for the coronation of King George III and Queen Charlotte in 1761, and finally Mozart's Mass No 15 in C Major, nicknamed the 'Coronation Mass' and performed at the coronation of Francis II as Holy Roman Emperor in Frankfurt Cathedral in 1792.
For the latter piece, we shall be joined by four outstanding young soloists from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, who are supported by the Josephine Baker Trust, and throughout the concert we shall be accompanied by virtuoso organist Philip Scriven, who will also perform Walton's 'Crown Imperial and the first movement of Handel's Organ Concerto Op. 4 No. 4.
A treat in store!
