Gabrieli will be bringing together nearly 400 musicians, including 250 young singers from Gabrieli Roar, not to mention a full symphony orchestra and fanfare trumpeters. And the following day will be recording the music for Signum Classics.
The repertoire will include music by Elgar, Wood, Tallis, Howells, Purcell, Vaughan Williams and more, in addition to the world premiere of a new Fanfare and National Anthem by David Matthews.The result will be music for a fantasy coronation service, taking in some of the music iconic British music from the 20th century and beyond.

Taking a bold stance on the ability of young singers, Gabrieli challenges the young singers to perform side-by-side with professional musicians and immerses them in the renowned energy of Gabrieli’s performances and recordings.
