The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, directed by Daniel Hyde, will perform at Wigmore Hall on October 21 at 7:30 p.m. in a special concert marking the 60th anniversary of the first event promoted by Raymond Gubbay.

The program, titled “O how glorious is the kingdom,” is conceived as a sequence of music suited to the feast of All Saints and looking toward the anticipation of Advent. It includes Victoria’s “Missa O quam gloriosum,” Aaron Copland’s “Four Motets,” and Francis Poulenc’s “Quatre petites prières de Saint François d’Assise.”

Gubbay began his career as a concert promoter in 1966 and spent five decades bringing classical music to major venues across the UK, including the Royal Festival Hall, the Royal Albert Hall, and the Barbican.

Hyde has served as Director of Music at King’s College, Cambridge since 2019, leading the choir in daily services as well as concerts and broadcasts at home and abroad. He is also Musical Director of the City of London Choir.

Founded in the 15th century at the behest of King Henry VI, the Choir of King’s College is among the world’s most recognized choral ensembles, known globally for its annual broadcast of A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols on Christmas Eve.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Wigmore Hall’s Director’s Fund.
