Celebrate 300 years of St Martin-in-the-Fields with a spectacular candlelit performance of Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius. For this special anniversary, the Choir of St Martin-in-the-Fields joins forces with St Martin’s Chamber Choir, Choral Scholars, and St Martin’s Chamber Orchestra to deliver a performance of extraordinary scale and drama. In Iain Farrington’s inventive arrangement, all of Elgar’s original vocal lines are retained, preserving the full expressive power of this iconic British choral masterpiece.

This concert is part of our 300th anniversary celebrations.
