Cheltenham Bach Choir Spring Concert at Tewkesbury Abbey
Saturday 14 March 2026
Experience a not to be missed spring concert in the magnificent setting of Tewkesbury Abbey.
To mark his tenth anniversary year with the superb Cheltenham Bach Choir, David Crown presents three contrasting and thrilling Romantic masterpieces in the magnificent surroundings of Tewkesbury Abbey.
Parry’s Blest Pair of Sirens opens the concert with its glorious orchestration and instantly uplifting choral writing. This celebratory work showcases the full power and richness of choir and orchestra.
Bruckner’s Te Deum follows, widely regarded as one of the composer’s greatest achievements. Profound, dramatic and deeply spiritual, it reflects the religious devotion that shaped Bruckner’s life and music.
The programme concludes with Puccini’s Messa di Gloria, a wonderfully exuberant and operatic work. Audiences who admire Puccini’s operas will recognise his soaring melodies and dramatic flair throughout this vibrant and uplifting masterpiece.
With the Cheltenham Bach Choir performing at an exceptionally high standard, accompanied by the outstanding musicians of Regency Sinfonia and a quartet of superb soloists, Tewkesbury Abbey will resound with magnificent choral and orchestral music in this unmissable Gloucestershire concert event.
