This year the nation celebrates the Queen's 90th birthday. In villages, towns and cities across the United Kingdom people are planning events and celebrations to honour a well-loved and extraordinary sovereign. Romsey Choral Society, based in a town with strong ties to the royal family, is no exception. On 2 July the singers will raise their 70 voices in concord with Romsey Abbey’s magnificent organ and triumphant, declamatory brass instruments played by members of the City of Southampton Orchestra.

The concert programme features music by the most lauded of British composers - Elgar, Mathias, Rutter, Vaughan Williams and Walton, and one mystery man, the much respected Belgian composer Joseph Jongen - a name perhaps less familiar than the others. And it is he who marries the sounds of brass, organ and voices in the sacred setting of the Mass. Jongen conducted the first performance of his Mass in Liège, Belgium in 1946 and favourable press reviews reported that it achieved a profound impression of majestic grandeur and piety. A worthy addition therefore to an otherwise British programme.
