Saturday 28th April at 7:45pm in Hayes Parish Church
Alongside extracts from the great oratorios of Haydn, Handel and Mendelssohn, the concert includes work by some of the best composers of the English cathedral tradition, not forgetting the more populist tradition of rousing pieces written for the hearty village singers of 18th Century church choirs.
