Lay Vicars Concert: Abraham and Isaac

Occurring
for 2 hours
Venue
Salisbury Cathedral
Address
West Walk Salisbury, SP1 2EJ, United Kingdom

Written for alto, tenor and piano, Abraham and Isaac is one of Britten’s most compelling vocal works. Drawing on the medieval Chester Mystery Plays, it retells the story of Abraham and Isaac with striking directness and emotional depth. The two voices take on multiple roles, creating a vivid musical drama that remains one of the composer’s most distinctive settings of a biblical text.

Performed in the unique setting of Salisbury Cathedral, this concert offers an opportunity to experience Britten’s music alongside works by some of his contemporaries, placing Abraham and Isaac within the rich musical landscape of twentieth-century Britain.

This concert forms part of a wider weekend at Salisbury Cathedral celebrating the life and music of Benjamin Britten, marking the 50th anniversary of his death in 2026. The celebrations continue at Choral Evensong on Sunday 22 November, when Britten’s Hymn to St Cecilia will be sung on the Feast of St Cecilia, which also falls on the composer’s birthday.

Tickets are available online or through the Cathedral Box Office, open Monday–Friday 10am–4pm.

For visitors with access requirements, or if you require an essential companion to accompany you, please contact the Cathedral Box Office to book your tickets.

Michael Rosen: Getting Through It

Occurring
for 1 hour, 45 mins
Venue
Salisbury Cathedral
Address
West Walk Salisbury, SP1 2EJ, United Kingdom

Join poetry legend Michael Rosen as he presents his new one-person show Getting Through It, formed of a double-bill of monologues.

Exploring themes of grief and mortality, Michael recounts powerful and personal stories - from the death of his son from meningitis at the age of 18 and the immense emotions from the unexpected loss, to the 48 days he spent in intensive care after contracting COVID-19, facing his own mortality after being put into an induced coma and having a 50% chance of dying.

Both stories are told with Michael's signature positivity, humour and poetry. Together, the two pieces are a testimony to the spirit of recovery.
