Britten Sinfonia Surround Sound Playlist
Wednesday 19 March, Chelmsford Cathedral 7pm
ChelmsfordSingers are delighted to have been invited to participate in this ground breaking event in Chelmsford Cathedral.
Whether you love classical music, or you’ve never thought it was for you, Britten Sinfonia’s Surround Sound Playlist offers an inspiring and unforgettable experience.
You’re lying or sitting in a cathedral, looking up at the soaring arches and beautiful ceiling above.
Lighting states shift and capture the mood as a seamless musical sequence fills the magical space from all directions..live and all around you, with orchestral drama, solo virtuosity and heart-bursting moments of choral beauty.
From the beloved and instantly recognisable to add-to-playlist new favourites, there will be orchestral, choral, solo and chamber music by Bruckner, Copland, Ēriks Ešenvalds, Handel, Morten Lauridsen, Parry, Prokofiev, Caroline Shaw, Vivaldi and many more.
Performers
Britten Sinfonia orchestra
Tenebrae choir
Amy Dickson saxophone soloist
Joseph Tawadros oud soloist
with Chelmsford Cathedral choristers, Chelmsford Singers, Waltham Singers and Thundersley Brass Band
Options for how to experience the event
We think the ideal way to experience this event is to sit, stand or lie on a mat or cushion on the floor. We will provide mats, and you are welcome to bring an additional cushion or beanbag. However, if you are not able to sit on the floor, there will be plenty of chairs set against cathedral walls and around pillars. All tickets are unreserved, and places will be allocated on the day on a first-come, first-served basis.
How much does it cost?
We want this experience to be accessible to everyone, and tickets are Pay What You Can, starting from just £5! Adult and child prices are the same.
