This concert explores the legacy of St Cecilia through music written in her honour by Britten, Handel, Finzi and Dyson.
It also includes a mass by Rheinberger which overtly rejects the aims of the 19th century Cecilian movement, which sought to return the liturgy of the Roman Catholic church to an older, simpler style.
