The Wren 300 Baroque Chapel Concert
Overview
Join us for an evening of baroque music in the sublime surroundings of the St Peter & St Paul Chapel at the Old Royal Naval College. The first-class Brandenburg Symphonia will be playing a delightful programme of Purcell and Handel alongside the thirty-five strong Trinity Laban Chapel Choir, conducted by Ralph Allwood MBE.
Ralph has conducted choirs for over 40 broadcasts for BBC Radio 3. In 2015 he co-founded the Pimlico Musical Foundation to enable children from Pimlico Primary Schools to sing in choirs, particularly at St Gabriel’s Church.
In 2017, the Archbishop of Canterbury presented him with the Thomas Cranmer Award for Music and Worship and is Chair of the Choral Evensong Trust.
