AN ENGLISH EVENING. CORONATION.
The British conductor Howard Williams cherry-picked from over 300 years of English music history to put together the programme for this concert. The Baroque period is represented by Purcell and Handel, while the 20th century is revisited in the compositions of Hubert Parry, William Walton and Benjamin Britten. Among the highlights is the work by the Scottish composer James MacMillan, which Queen Elizabeth II commissioned for her own funeral service. When the work was performed at Westminster Abbey on 19 September 2022, it was heard by millions around the world. Hubert Parry’s anthem I Was Glad also has close ties to the royal family, having been performed at the coronations of Edward VII in 1902, George V, Elizabeth II, and, most recently, Charles III.
