The concert is organised by Leamington Music. Director Richard Phillips said: “Leamington Music is very pleased to be bringing one of the top Cambridge college choirs to the town and also to be putting the concert on in the splendid setting of St Mark’s Church, with its fine acoustic for choral music.

“The programme is really imaginative and resonates with our policy of putting on music that other local promoters ignore.”
