Saint-Saëns (pictured here with his dog Delila) was in the audience for the premiere of Charles Gounod’s St. Cecilia Mass, and he wrote:

“This simplicity, this grandeur, this serene light which rose before the musical world like a breaking dawn, troubled people enormously… at first one was dazzled, then charmed, then conquered.”

We're performing the alongiside Saint-Saëns's Symphony No. 3 'Organ', famous from the 1995 film Babe, which features colossal organ chords in the finale - something you feel as well as see and hear.

I hope you can join us on 22 November to hear it live!

Lili Boulanger’s "Pour les funérailles d’un soldat" (For the funeral of a soldier) is her first surviving choral work.

Although she was only 19 at the time, its orchestration, and use of modes display her prodigious skills that helped her win the Prix de Rome the following year.

We performed 4 works by Lili Boulanger in Autumn 2024, and we can't wait to share some more of her music with you on Sunday 22 November!
