Programme Note
In this Coronation year, the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, Norwich Cathedral Choir and Norfolk composer Patrick Hawes, are celebrating the occasion with a wonderful evening of royal music in Norwich Cathedral on 5th October 2023.
Beginning with Handel’s Zadok the Priest which has been sung at every coronation since 1727, there will be performances of some of the King’s favourite pieces including Highgrove Suite which Patrick wrote for His Majesty inspired by his gardens at Highgrove.
We'll be joined by soprano Natalie Clifton-Griffiths and harpist Mared Pugh-Evans and the concert will showcase the musical excellence of both the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and Norwich Cathedral Choir under the shared direction of the Master of Music, Ashley Grote, and Patrick Hawes.
All profits will be shared between our two chosen charities: Norwich Cathedral Trust and the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
