John Longstaff, director of music at St Peter's, has organised the performance.

He said:

"it’s a wonderful and very difficult piece of music, extremely joyous and celebratory at times.
"I’ve loved it all my life but never had the opportunity to direct it and to perform it with the line-up of soloists and orchestral players who we have joining us, is a dream come true."
