A Festival of Psalms
King's Chapel Choir
Join the King's Chapel Choir for a journey through music history and the Book of Psalms.
The Psalms belong to the rather rare group of texts that composers have set to music throughout the centuries.
We will travel from Byrd and Palestrina to Brahms, Bobby McFerrin, Abbie Betinis, and Boston composers Patricia Van Ness and Graham Gordon Ramsay.
