UPCOMING EVENTS (2026-2027)
The BIG SING, in a BIG PLACE with a BIG CHOIR, will take place in
Carlisle Cathedral on Saturday 17th April 2027 at 7.30.p.m.
The choir will perform: ‘Saul’ by Handel.
‘Saul ‘is recognised as being the most accomplished of Handel’s oratorios. It tells the tragic story of Saul’s relationship with David, who killed Goliath and went on to slay thousands of Saul’s enemies. Saul became jealous of David’s success and their relationship soured… The music reflects the emotional intensity of this relationship and the momentous events which eventually led to Saul’s tragic death.
Conductor : John Butt
The choir will be accompanied by professional musicians and soloists from across the UK.
