Watch: St Paul's choir perform Allegri’s Miserere for Classic FM

Last month, our Choir performed Allegri's Miserere – a piece traditionally associated with the period of Lent and Holy Week – in an exclusive session filmed by Classic FM.

Performed in an empty Cathedral at dusk as light from the setting sun streamed in through the Dome, it was certainly an evocative performance of the piece, which was originally only intended for use in the Sistine Chapel. 

This year, visitors were able to hear the choir sing the Miserere at two of our Lent and Holy Week services, bookending the period of Lent with a performance of the piece at our Ash Wednesday and Good Friday services.
