The first part of the concert will include Britten’s Missa brevis for boys’ voices, A Hymn to the Virgin, A Hymn of St Columba, and Jubilate in E flat. 22 November is the feast day of St Cecilia, Patron Saint of Musicians, which will be marked by a performance of A Hymn for St Cecilia by Herbert Howells. The second part of the concert will be a performance of the Duruflé Requiem.
