Over 600 people gathered at Chichester Cathedral on Saturday 11 October for a fundraising Gala Concert with Sir John Rutter, part of the Cathedral’s 950th anniversary celebrations.
As Vice-Patron of the Chichester Cathedral Platinum Endowment Trust for Music, Sir John opened the evening with Parry’s I Was Glad and returned to conduct his own radiant Gloria at the close. He was joined by Charles Harrison, Organist and Master of the Choristers, who conducted the remainder of the programme.
The Gala has so far raised just over £50,000 from ticket sales and advance donations. Additional contributions made on the night together with Gift Aid and match funding will further boost the final total.
