Recent Activities

In November 2010, the choir marked the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Coventry with a performance in Coventry Cathedral of the War Requiem by Benjamin Britten. They were joined by soloists, the Parliament Choir, the Cathedral girl choristers, the Southbank Sinfonia, and the ESO Chamber Orchestra. The performance was repeated a few days later in London at Westminster Cathedral.

Easter 2011 brought two more concerts with the ESO, firstly an evening called "The Grand Tour" in Cirencester Parish Church at which the choir sang Vivaldi's Gloria. This was followed a week later on Good Friday with a performance of Bach's St John Passion in Coventry Cathedral.

Then the final concert before the summer holidays, also with the ESO, took place in the delightful setting of Tewkesbury Abbey with the choir singing Purcell's "My heart is inditing" and Handel's "Dixit Dominus".

Television & Radio Broadcasts

The choir again contributed to the BBC's Songs of Praise "The Big Sing" which was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in September 2011. The two programmes are scheduled to be broadcast on Christmas Day and New Years Day.

Further collaborations with ESO

Saint Michael's Singers will be joining again with the ESO in Mozart's C minor Mass in Coventry Cathedral in November, and twice at Christmas with a performance of Handel's Messiah in Ledbury and a concert of seasonal music in Cirencester.
