A very special Choral Event in Bath Abbey.

Sir Willard White tops the bill as Bath Bach Choir and Bury Bach Choir jointly present William Walton’s magnificent oratorio Belshazzar’s Feast.

Sir Willard is one of Britain’s most internationally acclaimed and versatile soloist whose illustrious career has taken him to the most prestigious concert halls throughout the world. Here he performs the baritone solos in one of the most thrilling and dramatic works in the choral repertoire.

Belshazzar’s Feast is a work that will highlight the performance skills of these two fine choirs, coming together under the baton of their shared musical director, Benedict Collins Rice.

To complete the programme there will be an additional Willard White solo and favourite English choral pieces by Hubert Parry (Blest Pair of Sirens; I was Glad) and Walton (Coronation Te Deum).

This is an extraordinary event with the opportunity to hear one of Britain’s greatest choral works performed live by a choir of 140 singers and Southern Sinfonia orchestra of over 50 players – a musical experience that will stay long after the final notes fade away.
