To celebrate Gustav Holst’s 147th birthday, on Saturday 25 September 2021 the Holst Victorian House presents an evening of music that influenced the great composer with the Oriel Singers.

The evening is set to include a selection of Renaissance motets and Bach’s Der Geist hilft unser Schwahheit auf, music by Holst’s contemporaries including Vaughan Williams and Charles Villiers Stanford, as well as the Mass in A minor by Imogen Holst and more.

This will be the first concert that the Oriel Singers have given since early March 2020, having returned to rehearsals over the summer.

The group have built a reputation for choral music-making, having performed with distinguished groups including the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, as well as being broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and 4 and in many English cathedral venues.

Tickets to the event cost £15 if booked in advance, and £17 on the night.
