In 2018, a massed choir of singers from across the United States filled Ely Cathedral on American Independence Day to perform a Celebration of Peace, an extraordinarily moving experience that commemorated 100 years since the end of World War 1. Now they return with another massive Thanksgiving Day concert, this time celebrating transatlantic concord. Singers from no fewer than seven choirs will be joined by Cambridgeshire’s own Prime Brass to perform a mixture of cathedral classics and American and British folk songs, conducted once again by Craig Jessop, with Stan Engebretson, artistic director of the National Philharmonic Chorale. The extensive programme will include old favourites such as Parry’s I was Glad, Handel’s Zadoc the Priest and Vaughan Williams’ O Clap your Hands from the UK, as well as Randall Thompson’s Last Words of David and Stephen Paulus’ Pilgrim’s Hymn from the USA. Crowning glory will be An Atlantic Bridge, a magnificent compilation of British and American folk songs arranged by Mack Wilberg. Premium tickets cost £15, including preferential reserved seating and a glass of wine during the interval. Other tickets £10 (unreserved). Concessions £8 in £10 seats. They are available from Ely Cathedral Box Office. All profits will go to East Anglian Ambulance Service |
