In Celebration! Handel and Purcell
As part of the celebration of local composer Charles Avison's Tercentenary 2009 and the 25th Anniversary of the Avison Ensemble, a concert with the Ensemble and the Choir of Her Majesty's Chapel Royal took place in the Cathedral on Thursday 9th July.

The programme included anthems by Handel and Purcell written specially for the Chapel Royal. The programme also included an anthem by Charles Avison (previously unheard in modern times due to a missing part) which had been composed by Andrew Gant especially to complete the work for this performance.
