9 January 2026 at 8.00pm David Owen Norris: Piano by Candlelight
Described as “perhaps the most interesting pianist in the world”, David Owen Norris returns to Salisbury Cathedral to play a fascinating concert including music by Gibbons, Parry, Vaughan Williams & Billy Mayer, along with his own transcription of The Scene of the Cold Genius from Purcell’s King Arthur, and his restored version of Elgar’s mighty Concert Allegro, which was published only after his death, in a sadly truncated version.
6 February 2026 at 8.00pm David Halls & Daphne Moody: The Romantic Violin by Candlelight
Cathedral Director of Music, David Halls and Daphne Moody once again join forces for a concert brimming with late-Romantic colour. Their programme opens with Brahms’s glorious A major Sonata, op.100, before turning to the shimmering wit and tenderness of Erich Korngold’s Four Pieces from Much Ado About Nothing, op.11. The concert concludes with Elgar’s Violin Sonata in E minor, op.82, written in the shadow of the First World War and full of longing, poignancy and unmistakably English passion.
6 March 2026 at 8.00pm Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu Nostri: Choral Music by Candlelight
Ed Rimmer, Lay Vicar and Concert Programme Manager conducts professional singers and instrumentalists in Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu Nostri – one of the most profound devotional masterpieces of the Baroque. The cycle of cantatas meditates on the suffering Christ, combining poignant text, expressive vocal writing and glowing instrumental colour.
24 April 2026 at 8.00pm An English Rose: Oboe & Piano by Candlelight
Enjoy the beauty and stillness of Salisbury Cathedral by candlelight in this forth concert of chamber music, featuring a performance by Alistair and Rosalie Watson, showcasing repertoire for the oboe and piano.
