Join the NTU Choir ​and English Pro Musica for an evening ​of exquisite choral music featuring John Rutter's famed Magnificat.

Age guidance: suitable for 5+, under 14s must be accompanied by an adult

John Rutter's Magnificat is a joyous celebration of the Virgin Mary, inspired by feast-day festivities in countries such as Spain, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. The passage from St Luke (chapter 1, verses 46-55), known as the Magnificat, is a poetic outpouring of praise, joy, and trust in God, ascribed by Luke to the Virgin Mary on learning that she was to give birth to Christ. It has always been one of the most familiar and well-loved scriptural texts, not least because of its inclusion as a canticle in the Catholic office of Vespers and in Anglican Evensong. Musical settings of it abound, though surprisingly few of them, since J.S. Bach's, give the text extended treatment.

Sir John Rutter is one of the UK's most prolific composers and conductors, associated primarily with choral music. His This is the Day was commissioned for the wedding of HRH Prince William of Wales and Catherine Middleton. He holds a Lambeth Doctorate in Music, was awarded a CBE for services to music and has received the Ivors Academy Fellowship.
