A great review from Friday's concert in Durham. There areonly two more opportunities to hear the 2010 Choral Pilgrimage programme, the next being on Friday in Brighton in the splendid St Batholomew's Church.

Durham Cathedral


Next stop on the Choral Pilgrimage is Durham Cathedral on Friday 15th at 7.30pm. It is renowned as a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture. It was begun in 1093 and largely completed within 40 years. It is the only cathedral in England to retain almost all of its Norman craftsmanship, and one of few to preserve the unity and integrity of its original design. And it has a fabulous acoustic and is one of the favourite places on our UK tour. Music by Sheppard, Byrd and Tallis, with a few tickets still available from 01904 651485.
