This is a welcomed return to the magnificent splendour of St Paul’s Cathedral as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra invites you to celebrate John Rutter’s 70th birthday. A national treasure, John Rutter’s unique blend of writing is unsurpassed with this concert offering an exclusive premiere as he conducts 'a six-movement choral celebration of life' written for orchestra and choir. This very special event, featuring The Bach Choir, organist Andrew Lucas and soloists, will also include Mozart’s thrilling and dramatic Requiem.
