About This Event

Enjoy a stunning performance of Karl Jenkins’ ground-breaking and inspiring Mass, written in reflection of the passing of ‘the most war-torn and destructive century in human history’ and performed in the evocative candlelit setting of St Mary Le Strand, James Gibbs’ baroque masterpiece and arguably the most beautiful of the Queen Anne Churches. This evening’s performance will be given by The L’Inviti Singers, accompanied by Alexander Pott (organ).

The performance begins at 6.30pm, and will last about 65 minutes, without interval, giving concert-goers time to have dinner after the performance.
