Programme Note
Sir John Rutter opens the festival with the much-loved Requiem by Gabriel Fauré, performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the City of London Choir.
Kestrel Music presents its seventh annual festival, ‘Summer Music in City Churches’, 18 - 27 June 2025 – an eight-day celebration of music in the City of London. Choral requiem settings form the cornerstones, inspiring this year’s theme ‘Eternal Light’. Guest artists are drawn from the finest musicians performing internationally today, including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and City of London Choir, conductors Sir John Rutter and Daniel Hyde, and soloists including guitarists Jack Hancher and Gus McQuade, pianists Iain Farrington, Lucy Parham, Mark Bebbington and Viv McLean, and singers Eleanor Grant, Edward Grint and Rachel Nicholls. Embracing the theme of ‘Eternal Light’ – sunrise, moonlight and reflected light in nature, as well as the everlasting light of remembrance – live music takes place in four of the historic churches in the City of London.
