Taking place at St Robert’s Catholic Church in Harrogate at 7pm on Saturday, November 12, the Vocalis concert has the theme of remembrance and will also reflect the 150th anniversary of Vaughan Williams’s birth.

It will feature a performance of his Mass in G Minor, which was written in 1921 for double choir and four soloists, and was first performed liturgically in Westminster Cathedral.
