Stabat Mater: Lenten Concert

Westminster Cathedral Choir and Britten Sinfonia present a Lenten concert of sacred reflection and profound musical devotion, bringing together two masterworks that speak powerfully to the mystery of faith, suffering, and redemption.

This is complemented by Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, a work inspired by the sacred polyphony of the English Renaissance. Drawing on Tallis’ Psalm Tune, the Fantasia unfolds with noble simplicity and radiant calm, its spacious sonorities evoking contemplation, humility, and the enduring beauty of sacred music.

The concert will begin with Sir James MacMillan in discussion with Fr Patrick van der Vorst, Precentor of Westminster Cathedral and Founder of Christian.art.
