Venue details
St Margaret’s Westminster
St Margaret St London SW1P 3JX
St. Margaret's, known as 'the Church on Parliament Square', is a 12th-century church next to Westminster Abbey.
A feast of Renaissance choral classics to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the birth of William Cecil.
This concert celebrates the 500th anniversary of the birth of William Cecil, Lord Burghley, the driving force behind Queen Elizabeth I’s reign for four decades. Appointed High Steward of Westminster in 1561 it is fitting that a celebration of music from his era should be held in St Margaret’s Church. We will perform a selection of sacred Tudor choral pieces, some of which will have been commissioned by Lord Burghley or his son themselves.
