The combined Abbey Boys’, Girls’ and Men’s Choir sing the Spatzenmesse or Sparrow Mass at the Festival Eucharist as part of our Mozart thread. It was first performed at an Easter Mass in Salzburg Cathedral in April 1776, the nickname being derived from the figures in the Hosanna which resemble the chirping of birds.
We extend a very warm welcome to our Festival preacher, the Rt. Revd. Dr. Guli Francis-Deqhani who was consecrated first Bishop of Loughborough in November 2017 and is formerly chaplain to the Royal Academy of Music in London.
