Rachmaninov : All-Night Vigil

Saturday, 21 March 2020, 19:30 - 22:00
Southwark Cathedral, London Bridge. London SE1 9DA

A specially devised performance pairing the mesmerising psalm settings of the Rachmaninov All Night Vigil with selected movements of Britten’s Cello Suites Nos 1 and 3 and their Russian folk like themes.

Rachmaninov (1873-1943) wrote his All-Night Vigil in under two weeks during January and February of 1915 and it premiered in Moscow on 10th March, just days before Wimbledon Choral Society's very first public concert on the Monday 22nd in Wimbledon.
