Duke Ellington: Sacred Concert

Jazz, classical and contemporary choral music in the stunning setting of King’s College Chapel.

  • 20th July 2024 - 20th July 2024
  • 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Celebrating their 40th anniversary, the acclaimed Crouch End Festival Chorus bring a very special programme to the splendour of King’s College Chapel.

Under the baton of their co-founder and Music Director David Temple MBE, they perform Duke Ellington’s ‘Sacred Concert’, blending traditional religious musical forms with the language of jazz. The piece has a long association with Cambridge after Ellington and his band performed it at a concert in Great St Mary’s Church in 1967.

The sublime choral music of James McCarthy’s a cappella chorus from the CEFC commission, 17 Days, Philip Glass’s Three Songs and Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel’s Gartenlieder promise to make this an unforgettable event.
