ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
On April 29th, 2023, an extraordinary concert took place at the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome, featuring a rare performance of Edward Elgar’s masterpiece, “The Dream of Gerontius,” with music by over four hundred musicians from the Southbank Sinfonia and The Parliament Choir directed by Simon Over. The event was organized by the British Parliament and promoted in collaboration with the Pro Musica e Arte Sacra Foundation, with the patronage of Cardinal James Harvey and Abbot Dom Donato Ogliari. The concert celebrates the life and work of John Henry Newman, a prominent theologian, poet, and Catholic convert of the 19th century. This performance of “The Dream of Gerontius” is a rare treat for Rome and Italy, with only a few performances of this piece in the past. Don’t miss this chance to experience the power and beauty of Elgar’s music and Newman’s poetry.
