Choir of Merton College, Oxford in Concert

Join the Choir of Merton College, Oxford for a program of music celebrating the English Choral tradition at its finest. Works by Tallis, Gibbons and Bairstow trace the flourishing of Anglican choral music across the centuries, culminating in contemporary works by living composers commissioned by this forward-looking choir. The choir also marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with a performance of Herbert Howells’ masterpiece Take him, Earth, for cherishing, written in 1963 in memory of John F. Kennedy.
