Join us as we conclude our 60th Anniversary Year of celebrations with John Rutter’s, The Gift of Life, conducted by the man himself.
We are delighted that there will be a pre-concert An Audience with John Rutter, in conversation with Katherine Dienes-Williams.
John Rutter will conduct Guildford Cathedral Choir singing his composition, The Gift of Life. The Gift of Life is a six-movement choral celebration of the living earth, of creation, and of life itself, offering a kaleidoscope of moods from contemplative and prayerful to majestic and inspirational.
