A special concert inspired by the life and writings of Saint John Henry Newman

A special concert inspired by the life and writings of Saint John Henry Newman will take place at 7pm on Thursday 10th June at Farm Street Jesuit Church in London's Mayfair.

The concert: Newman: Meditation & Prayer, will be live streamed on Classic FM's Facebook page and available on demand for a month afterwards.

It will feature the world premieres of two new Genesis Foundation choral music commissions, as well readings from the works of Cardinal Newman and poet and churchman John Donne.

The socially distanced performance will take place in front of a small, invited audience in the beautiful Gothic Revival surroundings of Farm Street Church, which is known as a community which actively advocates for social justice and nurtures music and art.
