The Sixteen bring eight singers and conductor Eamonn Dougan to perform a programme of beautiful choral music underneath the Whales.
Three colossal sperm whale sculptures will soar above the Nave for the start of 2026. Come and see these magnificent creatures, created by artist Tessa Campbell Fraser, during the Cathedral’s regular visiting hours or lit spectacularly at our evening concert.
