About This Event

Happy and glorious: the story of British music is inextricably linked with royalty, and down the centuries composers ranging from Handel and Elgar to Walton, Parry and Vaughan Williams have risen to royal occasions with music of breath-taking pageantry, beauty and power. In the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Concert Orchestra and Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Singers present a celebration of music and royalty in all its splendour: from the music of the Tudor court to Britten’s Coronation opera Gloriana, by way of Handel’s majestic Coronation Anthems, choral music by the current Master of the Queen’s Music Judith Weir, and a specially commissioned new work by Cheryl Frances-Hoad.

Broadcast on Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú TV on Sunday 24 July.
