This inaugural concert of the 30th anniversary season of Friends of Cathedral Music celebrates the eightieth birthday of a master and a masterpiece. The master is Philip Moore, one of the United Kingdom’s most important organists and composers. The masterpiece is Rejoice in the Lamb by Benjamin Britten--a work that entered the world, together with the infant Philip, in September 1943. Britten’s brilliant cantata will be paired with two works by Moore that have close ties to Cathedral Music: his Concerto for Organ, Strings, and Timpani (whose North American premiere was given by Maxine Thévenot under the composer’s direction) and his anthem As Kingfishers Catch Fire (which received its world premiere at the Cathedral in 2020).

Professor Bruce Redford (Boston University, emeritus) will deliver a pre-concert lecture at 5:15PM
Maxine Thévenot - organ soloist in the Moore with Stephen Redfield, concertmaster
- conductor for the Britten with Edmund Connolly, organist

Sunday July 2, 2023 | 6:00 PM

Program details:
