Spain’s Siglo de Oro, the Age of Gold, gave rise to some of the greatest sacred choral music of the Renaissance. We devote our latest Choral Pilgrimage to pieces by two outstanding Spanish composers, exploring majestic works by Cristóbal de Morales, famed throughout Europe and in the New World, and the exquisite polyphony of Sebastián de Vivánco, whose intricately crafted counterpoint adorned services at the cathedrals of Ávila and Salamanca during the late 1500s.

Our programme also features spellbinding settings of words by Saint John Henry Newman: Sir James MacMillan’s Nothing in Vain for soloists and double choir and the world premiere of Kerensa Briggs’ Lead, Kindly Light, specially commissioned for the Choral Pilgrimage.

A tribute to Bob Dylan, not a Bob Dylan tribute.

Simply Dylan is the brainchild of John O'Connell. His band’s precise playing and lovingly-crafted renditions of Bob Dylan's work from the 1970s onwards have gathered momentum and generated incredible interest from modest origins as a project recognising Dylan's 70th Birthday in 2011.

Their full band tours take in some of the most prestigious venues in the land – from The Lowry in Salford to Liverpool Royal Philharmonic to the Glasshouse in Gateshead.

They’ve also sold out the Cavern Club multiple times, received fantastic reviews for their international tours and opened up the Isle of Wight Festival on the Big Top Stage.

We’re bringing the acoustic version of the show to the Cathedral, featuring a super-talented multi-instrumentalist 4-piece band that includes violin, sax, acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, electric guitar and soul-stirring vocal harmonies.

Take it from us - this will be a very special night.
