FOR Salisbury Musical Society’s summer concert on Saturday, the choir will sing Haydn’s ‘Nelson’ Mass and Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem.

Haydn wrote his Mass in D minor in 1798, and its powerful qualities will make it the perfect piece for the grandeur of Salisbury Cathedral accompanied by Salisbury Symphony Orchestra.

The choir will also be singing the cantata Dona Nobis Pacem by Ralph Vaughan Williams. This was originally composed for the centenary of the Huddersfield Choral Society and was written as an appeal for peace at a time when war was looming.

David Halls will conduct both choir and orchestra and tickets are available from the box office on 01722 320333 or on the door before the concert starts at 7.30pm.
