The Venue
The sumptuous Gothic interior of St Barnabas Cathedral, the work of Augustus Pugin, one of the architects of the Houses of Parliament, is a hidden gem in the heart of the city.
The Cathedral is easy to find – located on the corner of Derby Road and North Circus Street, facing Nottingham’s Albert Hall. The Cathedral is approx. 5 mins away from the Theatre Royal tram stop, there is a bus stop outside the front door plus plenty of on-street parking and car parks close by.
On Saturday 5th March, the Nottingham Chamber Singers (formerly EOES) will be performing a programme of music to soothe your senses, with a springtime theme of reflection, remembrance and renewal. The choir will be joined by an eclectic mix of instrumentalists for their performance of the Rutter Requiem, Brahms Four songs for upper voices, Schumann’s Six songs for lower voices, and local composer Guy Turner’s Songs and legends of Robin Hood. We will also feature two contemporary settings of music set to the texts of Lord Byron, who incidentally is buried in the graveyard of the parish church of Hucknall where the concert is taking place. It promises to be a romantic feast for the senses, we hope you can join us… book your tickets now! 7.30pm concert at St Mary Magdalene Church, Hucknall.
